“I did play really well. I didn’t really get into trouble, except on 17 and I made a good up-and-down. It was a lot of fairways, a lot of greens, a few nice putts and a very solid day. I went four under in three holes right after the rain delay, so it worked out pretty good for me.

“It’s been a tough year so far, I decided to take a longer break this summer. It’s my first event in five or six weeks. I took a pass earlier with my swing coach, who I’ve been with for 13 years. I started to work with him again this summer and it’s feeling pretty good again.

“It’s going to be a bit rusty but I’ll try and play one hole at a time. I’m sure there’s going to be some pressure, hopefully it’s not too bad and I can manage it and keep playing well.”

His recent form has been lacking, he missed the last four cuts before taking a break, but his seven birdies, eagle at the par-5 12th and single bogey equalled the course record at Albatross Golf Resort.

He is followed by Pole Adrian Meronk (67) and American Sean Crocker (69) at 9-under and overnight co-leader and fellow Swede Henrik Stenson (69) at 8-under.

“I think that speaks volumes of my putting, course management and some tidy shots around the greens when I have been missing,” said Stenson. “I definitely give my putting the biggest credit these first two days as to why we’re bogey-free and in a good position. There’s more to ask with the long game, but I still hit fairways and greens, I want a bit more than I have produced these two days, but we’re in good shape and I’ m looking forward to the weekend.

“I was expecting to give it my best. I’ve got four tournaments to build some momentum to be in the hat that Pádraig [Harrington] is going to pick three names out of. Scoring-wise it’s probably better than I was hoping for coming in from three weeks off. I’ve done some practice but haven’t been playing a lot of golf on the course as of late, so it’s nice to be out there and keep the scores going in these first two rounds.”

Stenson’s co-leader Maverick Antcliff is among a group of six players at 7-under after a second round 70.
