Jacquelin takes 1-shot lead at Dunhill Links
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Raphael Jacquelin of France birdied his closing two holes for a 2-under 70 to break clear of a tightly packed leaderboard and take a one-shot lead after the second round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
Four players — Irish duo Padraig Harrington and Shane Lowry along with Frenchman Alexander Levy and England’s Oliver Wilson — were in a tie for second, with three others another shot back. At one stage late in the day, nine players were tied for the lead before Harrington jumped in front and Jacquelin then leapfrogged him with his strong finish for a 9-under total of 135.
The tournament is played on three courses, with 11 of the players in the top 12 having played Kingsbarns on Friday. Lowry was the only exception, shooting a 70 at St. Andrews.
Top-ranked Rory McIlroy shot a 67 on Kingsbarns to sit five shots back.
Lewis maintains 2-stroke lead at Reignwood
BEIJING — Stacy Lewis shot a 5-under 68 Friday to maintain a two-stroke lead over Brittany Lang after the second round of the Reignwood LPGA Classic.
The top-ranked American opened with a bogey but followed that with three birdies on the next four holes and three more on the back nine to get to 12-under 134 overall.
Lang (66) had seven birdies and no bogeys to tie for the low round of the day.
