Matthew Baldwin ties 36-hole record at Wentworth by shooting 66 to move to 13 under

Matthew Baldwin was setting an unexpectedly hot pace at the BMW PGA Championship after shooting 6-under 66 to establish a three-stroke clubhouse lead midway through the second round of the European tour’s flagship event on Friday. Baldwin, an Englishman ranked No. 363, built on his overnight one-shot lead after a first-round 65 by making seven birdies to go along with a dropped shot at No. 11 — his only bogey so far this week. Baldwin, who has been through the tour’s qualifying school six times in a turbulent career, made headlines three weeks ago by mishitting a drive so badly at the British Masters that the ball went between his legs and advanced only 8 yards (7 meters).
