Bjorn shoots a tournament defining round of 61 to lead in Mauritius | Golf-world – Gulf News

T e Dane followed up his f rst round of 68 with the lowest ever recorded round* at Constance Belle Mare Plage, a bogey free performance that included 7 birdies and two eagles. Son Oliver was on the bag for his father who played the par f ves at six under par and hit 17 greens in regulation. T e former Ryder Cup Captain was delighted with his performance after arriving in Mauritius following a frantically busy period. “I played well yesterday, and nothing really happened… I f nished nicely yesterday and carried that momentum into today…to shoot 61 is always great. When you play a course like this…it’s about putting the ball in play and putting yourself in position and that suits my game more than it did probably 25 years ago… I enjoy playing on this tour, but I have roles to play, roles with Luke Donald and the Ryder Cup captaincy, being on tour for him and looking at the youngsters and that can sometimes be to my detriment of my own golf really, but I enjoy playing with these guys. T ese are the guys I played with, these are the guys I grew up with , I enjoy their company it’s a nice tour to be on when you can come to places like this, it can make it a little bit more special”

T e 51 year old will head out on the f nal day with Miguel Angel Martin, who’s round of 66 sees him tied with Swede Jarmo Sandelin four shots behind Bjorn. Just four shots separate 2nd and 10th position.

In the race for the end of season Order of Merit, current incumbent James Kingston had a much improved day in his quest to lift the John Jacobs Trophy. After a horrible f rst round of 74, T e South African hit a fantastic second round of 65 to sit at -5 for the tournament. As things stand his nearest challenger is Adilson Da Silva who is currently four shots ahead at -9. T e Brazilian MUST win the tournament (with Kingston coming lower than T4) or f nish 2nd (with Kingston unable to f nish) to snatch the honour from him.
