Thorbjorn Olesen opens up commanding 6-shot lead in Turkey (The Associated Press)

ANTALYA, Turkey (AP) -- Thorbjorn Olesen shot a course-record 62 to take a commanding six-shot lead after the second round of the Turkish Airlines Open on Friday.

Adrian Otaegui had earlier shot a 63, but Olesen went one better to enter the weekend at 15-under 127 and open up the largest 36-hole lead of the European Tour season.

Otaegui and Thongchai Jaidee (66) were tied at 9-under, one stroke ahead of Joakim Lagergren (64), David Horsey (67), Matteo Manassero (68) and Li Haotong (68).

The 26-year-old Olesen had made only four of his last 13 cuts but he was in good form at Regnum Carya Golf and Spa Resort, making an eagle and eight birdies.
