Golf-Leader Willett finds reverse gear after record 29 (Reuters)
VIRGINIA WATER, England, May 27 (Reuters) - Danny Willett veered from the sublime to the ridiculous, following a record 29 on the front nine with an inward half of 39 as he set the early second-round pace at the BMW PGA Championship on Friday.
The U.S. Masters winner surged to the top of the leaderboard with a scintillating burst of scoring on another sunny day at Wentworth that yielded six birdies in seven holes to the ninth.
The journey home was a completely different story, though, as Willett frittered away shot after shot before a birdie at the long 18th gave him a four-under-par 68 and a 10-under tally of 134 at the European Tour's flagship event.
