STOCKHOLM — Dale Whitnell shot an 11-under 61 Friday to surge into a six-shot lead after the second round of the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed event, where women and men play on the same course for one prize fund and trophy.
The 34-year-old Englishman, whose lone appearance at a major tournament was when he came through qualifying and made the cut 11 years ago at The Open, had 11 birdies in a flawless round to move to 17-under 127 in total.
He pulled well clear of overnight co-leader Yannik Paul of Germany, who settled for a 68 after his six birdies were negated by bogeys on holes No.
