JAMES Morrison, who used to play England youth cricket with current internationals Alastair Cook and Tim Bresnan, hit the Wentworth galleries for six with a stunning exhibition of golf at the PGA Championship yesterday.
Morrison, 27, blitzed his way into a four-stroke lead on 12-under-par 132 midway through the second round after cramming six birdies and a second eagle three in a row at the 18th into an eight-under 64.
Sharing second place on 136 were world No. 2 Luke Donald (68) and his fellow Englishman David Drysdale (70). Ireland's Peter Lawrie (71), who shared the overnight lead with Drysdale, was a further stroke adrift alongside Spain's Alvaro Quiros (70).
A former opening batsman and spin bowler, Morrison hung up his cricket gear after hitting a century for Surrey's under-17 team.
"This is my third year on the tour and that's definitely one of the best rounds I've ever had," the 2010 Madeira Islands Open champion told reporters. "It was also probably one of the easiest, or at least it felt easy. I wish golf was like that every day but it's not."
