SEVILLE, Spain (AP)—Danny Willett shot his second straight 4-under 68 Friday to take the early lead in the second round of the Spanish Open, one stroke ahead of Nicolas Colsearts.
The 22-year-old Englishman, a former top-ranked amateur, is at 136 total at the Real Club de Golf, where he has been relying on his 3 wood for accuracy.
“It was a question of laying back, sacrificing 30 or 40 yards just to make the fairways, because the rough here is brutal,” Willett said.
Two years ago, when the Spanish Open was last played in Seville, Willett was 10 under in the third round but then dropped late shots as the pressure increased.
“That was only my second tournament as a professional and I was very nervous, but now I have got a slightly different attitude believing that if the cameras are present I must be playing well,” Willett said.
With only a slight breeze and hazy sunshine making conditions perfect, scoring was only tempered by the effects of the rough. Those who avoided it prospered.
