Harrison Endycott, one of the rising stars of Australian golf, has played himself right into contention at the Bahrain Championships after an extraordinary mixed bag of a second round.
Sydneysider Endycott, who ended 2023 by winning the fiercely contested PGA Tour Q-School in Florida, shot a four-under 68 at Royal Golf Club to move to within two shots of the halfway lead shared by Sweden's Jesper Svensson, Swiss Joel Girrbach and South African Dylan Frittelli.
There was rarely a dull moment in the 27-year-old's round on a blustery day in the European Tour event as Endycott recorded nine birdies to go with three bogeys and one double bogey.
