Wilson turns things around in Thailand
England's Oliver Wilson leapt to the top of the leaderboard at the halfway point of the Johnnie Walker Classic after carding a six-under-par 66 at the Blue Canyon Country Club.
The Mansfield golfer, who finished the day on 10-under-par for the tournament, had two birdies on his front nine but improved dramatically after the turn when he eagled both the 544-yard 11th and the 586-yard 15th, before carding another birdie at the short 14th.
However, even though he spoiled his card with a bogey five at the last he still leads South Africa's Anton Haig - who shot a tournament low 64 - by one with world number eight Retief Goosen and Australian James Nitties a further shot adrift.
"It's nice to be leading the tournament," said the 26-year-old Wilson.
"I've just been working on a few mental things this week trying to stay relaxed and enjoy it and it seems to work. So if I can keep doing that, you never know, and you never know what will happen on the weekend."
Haig said: I just kept good composure out there, kept fighting and never gave up. I hit all the par fives in two and really did hit it good out there.
"I hardly missed a fairway, putted really solid. All in all, compared to yesterday, I really hit it a lot better."
Colin Montgomerie carded a two-under-par 70 to move to five under for the tournament alongside Graeme Storm, although fellow English duo Paul Casey and Nick Dougherty both missed the cut.
