Gary
King will start the final round of the Buildbase Open at Frilford Heath
Golf Club with a formidable seven-stroke lead over nearest challengers
James Frazer and Luke Goddard after carding a second-round 70 to
consolidate his course-record
opening round 62.
King
(Tyrrells Wood Golf Club), winner of the HotelPlanner.com PGA EuroPro
Tour season opener at Celtic Manor last week, proved his sensational
form with a ten-under-par 62 to shave four shots off the Red Course
record in the opening round,
and went two under par in round two to extend his lead to seven with a
tournament score of 12 under par.
Frazer
(Pennard Golf Club), who was five under for his first round, signed for
a par 72 second round to share second on five under with Goddard
(Hendon), who has shot rounds of 70 and 69 so far in the tournament, the
second of the season.
Six players share fourth on four under and will be hoping to pounce should King make an unsteady start to his last 54.
“I
felt really comfortable going out with that lead,” said King of his
second round on a warm but windy day at Frilford Heath Golf Club.
“Saying that, I walked up to a tiny
putt on the first and missed it, which kind of unsettled the round a
little bit but I got it back pretty quickly with a couple of birdies.
“I
was happy to get through the front nine at one under because I know it
is that little bit trickier than the back and you can make some chances
on the back. I came back in one under.
“I
had the same goals as I did yesterday, I was just trying not to think
about yesterday’s round or compare the two and I think I did that pretty
well.
“Tomorrow
I will have the same goals, mentally. I will maybe make some
adjustments gameplan wise depending on how things are sitting. I have
played quite aggressively over the first two days because I have been
hitting the driver well off
the tee, but I will maybe tone it down a touch depending on the
situation in the final round.”
The
Buildbase Open carries a £50,000 purse, with £10,000 going to the
winner. The tournament will be filmed for a two-hour highlights show to
be aired on Sky Sports on Tuesday, June 2.
