Spain surge into World Cup lead

Spain surged into a two-stroke lead at the top of the Omega Mission Hills World Cup leaderboard midway through second round foursomes today.

Having started the round two shots behind overnight leader Germany following an eight-under-par 64 in yesterday’s fourballs, Miguel Angel Jimenez and 2008 European Tour Rookie of the Year Pablo Larrazabal flourished in the alternate shot format to reach the turn at seven under for the day.
