Bernd Wiesberger produced a remarkable run of nine birdies in a row as he fired a 63 to take the second-round lead at the Maybank Championship.
The 31 year old entered day two at Saujana Golf and Country Club six shots off the lead but that incredible sequence of gains from the seventh to the 15th got him to 12 under and handed him a one-shot lead over Masters Tournament champion Danny Willett.
No other player in European Tour history had ever made nine consecutive birdies in the same round but, with preferred lies in place this week, Wiesberger will not take his place in the history books.
That is unlikely to take the gloss off a brilliant performance, however, as he goes in search of a fourth European Tour victory
Willett followed up his opening 66 with a 67 to sit at 11 under, two shots clear of Frenchman Mike Lorenzo-Vera and American David Lipsky.
