His back nine in contrast featured five birdies and a bogey at the last to close his round with a 68. He takes a one-shot lead into the weekend at 9-under in the Betfred British Masters hosted by Danny Willett.

"I thought the conditions were quite a bit more difficult today with the wind and it's a bit cooler," said Long.

"And there's a lot of tough holes out here but despite not driving it my best, the irons were really good again and so I did give myself some opportunities and yeah, took them when I could. So I'm happy."

"The game is good, and I know that if I play the way I can play, that I can compete out here. So I'm certainly not scared to do well. I think that's something I've learned over time and I'm just enjoying it.

"It's awesome. We play great courses and great guys out here, so it's been great."
