SUTTON COLDFIELD, England -- German golfer Hurly Long was the halfway leader at the British Masters by a stroke on Friday.
Tournament host Danny Willett was among seven players within two strokes of Long, who is in his first season on the European tour.
But consecutive finishes of third and second on tour in February and March make Long believe that experience will stand him in good stead this weekend.
"I've been in this situation before, I'm really looking forward to it," Long said. "There's a lot of good players near the top of the leaderboard so it should be a good test and a lot of fun.
