Masters champion Danny Willett grabs share of lead at BMW PGA Championship

Masters champion Danny Willett continued his fine Augusta form Friday when he jumped into a share of the lead at the BMW PGA Championship at famed Wentworth Club in Surrey, England.

After firing a 6-under 66 in Round 1, Willett backed it up with a 4-under 68 to post 10 under early in the second round. Despite bogeying three of his last four holes — he did birdie 18 — Willett placed himself in great position heading into the weekend.

Willett missed the cut at the Players Championship — his first event since his Masters victory — and he fell down the leaderboard Sunday at last week's Irish Open.
