SHANGHAI:
Fredrik Jacobson capitalised on poor putting by overnight HSBC Champions leader Keegan Bradley to storm to the top of the leader-board at 11-under-par. Jacobson dazzled with a six under-par 66 second round score to add to his opening account of 67 and take control at the halfway stage in the China showcase. “It’s been a great couple of days and I’ve been striking the ball well and setting up a lot of chances,” said Jacobson. Breathing down Jacobson’s neck in tied second on 10-under are South African 2010 Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen and Australian Adam Scott.
