Golfers disappoint on second day

Second round of 72 leaves Denmark six behind the leaders in the World Cup of Golf

The Danish team have slumped out of contention on the second day of the World Cup of Golf at the Missions Hills club in Hainan Island, China, and now trail the leaders by six shots in 19th place.

An excellent first round of 65 on a day of low scoring on Thursday had left the Danish pairing of Anders Hansen and Thorbjørn Olesen in sixth equal place and looking like serious contenders.

But a level par round of 72 today has left Denmark with it all to do over the weekend.

Hansen and Olesen – the world number 173 who was a late call-up after Thomas Bjørn withdrew due to injury – are bidding to become their countryÂ’s first ever winners of an event that has been contested since 1953 and has been biennial since 2009. DenmarkÂ’s best previous finish was when Bjørn and Hansen finished second equal in 2001.

The winners of the 28-team event will receive $2.4 million.
