Danny Willett: Englishman was round in 65 in Munich on Friday
Defending champion Danny Willett was pleased to
take advantage of good early scoring conditions in the second round of
the BMW International Open.
The Englishman, who has been
struggling with a back problem recently, followed his first-round 69
with an equal best-of-the-day 65 on Friday to get to 10 under for the
tournament, two behind leader Ernie Els."Yesterday was a little bit hit-and-miss. I haven't played a lot of tournaments in the last 14 weeks," said Willett.
"It was a bit rusty but I hit a lot of good shots. It is good to put yourself in a good position playing sensible golf.
"It is a birdie-fest out here. People make a lot of putts and the greens are obviously better in the mornings than the afternoons, but if you can keep hitting it inside 15-20 feet you have a chance."
Martin Kaymer, who lifted the title in 2008, is another former champion in contention at the Munich event.
The German is part of a five-man group tied for sixth on nine under after rounds of 64 and 71.
"The course has played longer, there was more wind and the pins are the biggest difference - today you have to play more conservatively," he said.
"My game was similar to yesterday, I just didn't make as many putts. It was definitely tougher to play but it is fine.
"Overall I am playing okay but I'm not feeling very well."
