Fisher stormed home in just 30 strokes to card a second round of 65 on the 7,964-yard, Ernie Els-designed Copperleaf course, the longest in European Tour history.

That gave the 33-year-old former Ryder Cup player a halfway total of 13 under, one ahead of Denmark’s Morten Orum Madsen, the South African Open winner also returning a flawless 65.
