Team Denmark roar to top of leaderboard at World Cup of Golf (Reuters)

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Soren Kjeldsen and Thorbjorn Olesen tore up Kingston Heath with a scintillating 60 in the fourballs to fire Denmark to a three-stroke lead after the second round of the World Cup of Golf in Melbourne.

The Danes teed off four strokes adrift of overnight leaders Spain on another gusty day at the sandbelt course but finished with Kjeldsen sinking a three-foot putt on the 18th for the pair's eighth birdie in a brilliant 12-under round.

They head into Saturday's foursomes with a handy buffer over second-placed China, with Spain a further stroke behind on eight-under.
