ISTANBUL, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen fired a course record nine-under-par 62 to power six strokes clear of the field after the second round of the $7 million Turkish Airlines Open in Antalya on Friday.

The 26-year-old ended his round with a flourish, reeling off four birdies and an eagle in his last six holes to finish with a 15-under total of 127 at the Regnum Carya Golf and Spa Resort.

"Yesterday was a great putting display and today I played better and still putted great," triple European Tour winner Olesen told reporters.
