Danny Willett hits front in stormy Switzerland

Danny Willett’s impressive form carried on in the Swiss Alps as he claimed an one-shot lead on the second day of the Omega European Masters.

The Englishman was in the running for the Claret Jug at St Andrews last week after two rounds, eventually finishing four shots off winner Zach Johnson, and his hot streak continued in Crans on Friday.

Willett’s 62 meant he matched the low-36 hole tournament record score of 127 but 36 players were unable to finish their second round as electrical storms brought a premature end to play.
