Englishman Daniel Brown two strokes off the lead after strong day in Kentucky

The Briton hit six birdies leaving him tied in second place going into the third day of the tournament.

Four-time PGA Tour winner Lucas Glover leads the pack after the second day of the Barbasol Championship in Kentucky with Englishman Daniel Brown in second, two strokes behind the lead.

Glover continued his hot run of form which resulted in his 10th consecutive round in the 60s as he shot a four under par for 68 on Friday at Keene Trace.

“Uncharacteristically drove it very poorly,” Glover said after the day’s play.

“I just didn’t hit enough fairways to hit the ball close and take it low again. Happy the way I finished and happy the way I rolled it, just not many of them were very close today.

The 43-year-old hit five birdies and just the one bogey to leave him 13 under par.

His 11-under 131, equals his fifth-best opening 36-hole score on Tour. The last time he shot 131 in his opening 36 holes he won (2021 John Deere Classic).

Brown, 28, also hit a 68 with six birdies and two bogeys as he hopes to earn a PGA Tour card by winning the tournament.

“I’ll try and stay as calm as I can until back nine Sunday, hopefully, and we’ve got a chance, fingers crossed,” Brown said after the day’s play.

Tied in second with Brown on 11 under par are American Adam Long and Swedish player Vincent Norman.

Four more players are one stroke behind, tied in fifth place.
