Spain’s Angel Hidalgo delighted the home fans with a stunning 63 to claim a share of the halfway lead in the Andalucia Masters at Valderrama.

Hidalgo carded eight birdies, including seven in a nine-hole stretch around the turn, and narrowly failed to chip in for another on his final hole which would have seen him equal Bernhard Langer’s 28-year-old course record.
