DP World Tour: Danish Golf Championship : Entry List Tee Times
Cameron Adam and Antoine Rozner both fired course records on day two of the Danish Golf Championship to share the lead heading into the weekend at Great Northern.
Frenchman Félix Mory had set the mark with a 65 on in round one but countryman Rozner bettered that on Friday with a 64 to set the target at -11.
It looked for a long time like the three-time DP World Tour winner would lead alone after 36 holes but Scot Adam had other ideas, birdieing the treacherous last to lower the mark once again with a 63 and join him at the summit at -11
Another Scot in Ewen Ferguson was one back -10 after a 65, a shot clear of Julian Perico 66 who became the first Peruvian to make the cut in a DP World Tour event, England's Matthew Jordan 67, Frenchman Romain Langasque 66, South African Brandon Stone 69 and American Caleb Surratt 66 all at -9.
Adam earned his place on Tour through last year's Global Amateur Pathway Rankings but has registered just one top ten in Kenya so far to sit 125th on the Race to Dubai Rankings.
With his starts likely to be limited on the Back 9, he needs to rack up some precious points this week and on home soil at the Nexo Championship and he is certainly going the right way about it, carding nine unanswered birdies in a round that will win him $US30,000 courtesy of Nexo should it not be lowered by Sunday.
"It's the best round of my professional career so far," he said. "I've just got to build off it and go and have a strong weekend.
"I'm excited. It's going to be different and a first experience for me on tour but I've got to embrace it and go and see what happens."
Rozner's 64 was his lowest round of a season that has seen him claim three top tens but miss his last two cuts.
"I just played good golf and holed a lot of putts as well," he said.
"I think I took really good advantage of the low wind early on in the day and just played very good.
Ferguson was bogey-free in his round, a feat also achieved by Langasque who carded a 66.
Perico and Surratt also went round in 66, with Jordan carding a 67, two shots fewer than Stone.
Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson 68 and Chinese teenager Yanhan Zhou 67 were then at -8, a shot clear of former champion and local hero Rasmus Højgaard 67 Italian Filippo Celli 70, England's Todd Clements 68 and German Freddy Schott 70 all -7
