Bryant's lightning in a bottle uncorks hole-in-one
Davis Bryant has carded the lowest score of the tournament to open up a two-shot lead at the BMW International Open. The American entertained the fans at Golfclub Munchen Eichenried when he recorded the 12th hole-in-one of the DP World Tour season with an ace at the 166-yard par-three 12th, his third hole, en route to his brilliant 63. He added nine birdies and two bogeys to set the halfway target of 12 under par, moving two clear of Norway's Kristoffer Reitan. "I don't really know what happened today. I think the ace kind of jumpstarted things," Bryant said. "I don't feel like I've played my best golf since Q school to be honest. I had some time off over the holidays, played some HotelPlanner Tour events to start the year and feel like my game is starting to get back to where I want it to be. "Just super pleased with last week's finish, the first two rounds here and then today, catching lightning in a bottle and just rolling with it. "Not really thinking too far ahead. Everyone in the field can win this event. We've still got two rounds to go." Reitan rolled in seven birdies in his flawless 65, while English pair Jordan Smith and Daniel Brown sit at nine under alongside Japan's Yuto Katsuragawa. Scotland's Scott Jamieson is one shot further back in a tie for sixth, but defending champion Ewen Ferguson missed the cut by one shot despite a four-under 68 on Friday. Australia's Elvis Smylie is on 139 after going round in an eye-catching 66. Compatriot Daniel Gale is on 142. David Micheluzzi, two shots further back, missed the cut.

Davis Bryant shoots 63 containing a hole-in-one to lead BMW International Open
MUNICH -- Davis Bryant, an American ranked 576th in the world, made a hole-in-one and nine birdies on the way to shooting 9-under 63 for a two-shot lead after the second round of the BMW International Open on Friday. Bryant aced his third hole of the day — No. 12 — with a shot from 165 yards, and also rolled in putts from 30 feet and 20 feet at Golfclub München Eichenried. Bryant, who was 12 under par at the halfway point as he chases his first pro title, is playing his first season on the European tour after coming through Q-School. He tied for 10th place at the Italian Open last week. Kristoffer Reitan of Norway was alone in second place after shooting 65 and there was a three-way tie for third place between Jordan Smith (67), Yuto Katsuragawa (67) and Daniel Brown (65), who were a shot further back on 9 under.
