Golf-Chip-in birdies delight co-leaders Kjeldsen and Fitzpatrick

WOBURN, England, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Matthew Fitzpatrick, the youngest man in the field, again showed he could mix it with the European Tour's elite by ending the second round of the British Masters in a tie for the lead with Soren Kjeldsen on Friday.

Englishman Fitzpatrick, 21, started the day at the top of the leaderboard on his own and a two-under-par 69 gave him a nine-under total of 133, the same as experienced Dane Kjeldsen (68).

The pair were one stroke in front of Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat (67) and Richard Bland of England (67) after another warm, autumnal day at Woburn.
