DENMARK DUO SOREN Kjeldsen and Thorbjorn Olesen carded a stunning 12-under 60 in Friday’s four-ball to take a three-shot lead at the World Cup of Golf.
After opening with an even-par 72, the Danish pair had two eagles and eight birdies at Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne. The eagles came at holes three and eight, either side of a pair of birdies, before a red-hot back nine.

The duo holed five birdies in a row from the 10th and another to finish, giving one-time runners-up Denmark a chance at a first title.
China’s Wu Ashun and Li Haotong are second at nine under after producing a 65. A shot further back are Spain’s Rafa Cabrera Bello and Jon Rahm — the overnight leaders — after their 67.
A group of four teams sit a shot behind them, including American pair Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker — who produced a 67. England [Chris Wood and Andy Sullivan] were flawless with a 66, while Italy’s Francesco Molinari and Matteo Manassero had just one bogey to be alongside them.
French duo Victor Dubuisson and Romain Langasque are also in the group after a 67. Australia are defending the title but sit a long way back at two under, despite Adam Scott and Marc Leishman managing a four-under 68.
Despite picking up three shots in their second round, the Ireland team of Shane Lowry and Graeme McDowell are back in 16th place on three under — nine strokes off the lead.
The Irish started the day with a couple of birdies and added another pair on the back nine, dropping one bogey over the course of their second round.
