Denmark’s Soren Kjeldsen and Thorbjorn Olesen launched an astonishing sub-par blitz to power into the lead after the second round of the World Cup of Golf at Melbourne, Australia, then the Danes pushed their advantage to four strokes after the third round.

The second-round 60 was crafted in strong southwesterly winds at Kingston Heath. The Danes took turns chipping in for eagle in a brilliant front nine of 29, six under par, as they combined superbly in the best-ball format. They reeled off five consecutive birdies on the homeward nine before Kjeldsen holed another birdie putt on the 18th green, and they followed with a round of 70.

The U.S. pair of Ricky Fowler and Jimmy Walker were moved into second place after rounds of 67 and 69. China was another shot back.
