Former champion Louis Oosthuizen chased down American pace-setter Collin Morikawa then turned on the afterburners to take a two-stroke halfway lead at the British Open with a sizzling five-under 65 under cloudless skies on Friday.
Early starter Morikawa tore up the Royal St George’s links with a superb six-under 64 to storm three shots clear before overnight leader Oosthuizen had even started his second round.
But with the course becalmed by light winds, 2010 champion Oosthuizen made scoring look even easier with four birdies and an eagle to storm to the top of the leaderboard on 11-under 129 the lowest 36-hole total in Open history.
