MELBOURNE, Australia -- Denmarks Soren Kjeldsen and Thorbjorn Olesen launched an astonishing subpar blitz on Friday to power into the lead after the second round of the World Cup of Golf.Astonishing because the 12-under-par 60 was crafted in southwesterly winds that were even stronger than the opening day at Kingston Heath.The Danes took turns to chip in for eagle in a brilliant front nine of 29, 6 under par, as they combined superbly in the best-ball format. They reeled off five consecutive birdies on the homeward nine before Kjeldsen holed another birdie putt on the 18th green to put the stamp on the sensational round.Denmarks taming of the wind-swept 6,503-meter (7,111-yard) layout handed them a 3-stroke lead ahead of China, with Spain one further back at the halfway mark of the tournament.Olesen said an eagle and a round of 59 was on his mind when he bombed a 369-meter drive down the 418-meter final hole. And yet it was Kjeldsens touch on the fast green that delivered the last birdie.Im like a train, I arrive on time. Hes the flashy one with an amazing game, Kjeldsen said.This is my favorite type of golf. Youve got to control the ball and look at the angles. You dont just get up and whack it, youve got to think your way around.United States pair Ricky Fowler and Jimmy Walker shot a 5-under 67 to be in a four-nation tie for fourth, five shots behind the Danes heading into Saturdays foursomes.The American pair underlined the teamwork required in the four-ball -- the best score counts for each hole -- with vastly contrasting efforts at the par-4 eighth into the face of the strong wind.Walkers tee shot found a fairway bunker, he barely advanced the ball buried in long grass and promptly picked it up after the fourth shot scurried across the green. He had the luxury of standing back and applauding when Fowlers 15-meter birdie putt disappeared into the cup to pick up another shot for the team.A measure of the quality of the players were the clutch of low scores in such cold and blustery conditions -- a 60, two 64s, four 65s and seven 66s in the 28-nations field.New Zealand and the Netherlands, the third group on to the course, went birdie for birdie in a low-scoring shootout, each team posting eight-under 64s to be 5-under for the tournament and in contention for the weekend.The Dutch strategy was typical of most teams; the less experienced Darius Van Driel teeing off first to put the ball safely in play, allowing Joost Luiten to bomb his drives to try to set up shorter approach shots to the quickening greens.That worked out really well. Darius hit great off the tee all day, so we didnt really get into any trouble. After that, we just tried to find the green and hole the putt and we did that pretty good today, Luiten said.New Zealands Ryan Fox and Danny Lee snared 10 birdies against two bogeys as all players in the group fed off each other in the four-pronged attack. Joost looked like he was going to hole everything he looked at. It was a fun day all round, Fox said.Host nation Australias representatives Adam Scott and Marc Leishman must go low in Saturdays foursomes to get close enough to the lead to challenge for the win on Sunday. The pair shared six birdies, but gave two shots back mid-round, for their 68 to be 2-under and 10 strokes off the pace.Our best stuff needs to be on the weekend now, Scott said. You never know, its a tough format. Doesnt mean the leaders are going to play any good over the weekend, so, hopefully, we can close the gap.Scots Russell Knox and Duncan Stewart, embarrassed to sit bottom of the leaderboard after an 8-over 78 on the opening day, set about restoring temporarily tarnished reputations. Out in the first group, they grabbed an early birdie before Stewart eagled the par-5 eighth hole. And three birdies on the back nine produced a 7-under 65; a 13-shot improvement. Hydro Flaske .

Hydro Flask Prisjakt . PETERSBURG, Fla. Coming off of a solid win at WTFox 2, Cloud9s Joseph Mango Marquez has his eyes set on one thing: the 3v0, or his coveted third Evolution Championship Series (Evo) trophy.Evo welcomed back Super Smash Brothers Melee in 2013 after its community won a donation drive. The annual tournament presents the largest stage that fighting games have to offer, and Mango seized the opportunity to win his first Evo trophy. A year later, he repeated his championship run by winning another trophy.2015 started slowly for Mango, who had several questionable performances until Mothers Day, when he went on a massive losers bracket run to win Press Start. Flash-forward to Evo 2015, where Mango yet again had an early start in losers after losing to Justin Plup McGrath. He made it to the final day after a nail-biting set against Sami Druggedfox Muhanna. Despite the close calls, the story felt familiar. He ran through losers at Evo 2013 and had made several long losers runs in the past. Victory was not out of reach for him.The final day progressed as expected; Mango made quick work of Daniel ChuDat Rodriguez and his next opponent would be none other than Juan Hungrybox Debiedma. Things looked smooth as Mango took game one and had the lead in game two, but Hungrybox persevered to snatch the game away from Mango. Even with the loss, Mango still had a coveted counter-pick stage in Yoshis Story, ideal for killing Hungryboxs Jigglypuff at low percentages.With an early grab, Mango looked to convert into an up-air, but instead fell off the edge for an early self-destruct. This early deficit exploded into a larger one as Mango fell to another self-inflicted death. The lead had become too large to overcome and the storybook ending that Mango was looking for came to a screeching halt in the form of a painful fifth place finish.After the awards ceremony, he quickly faded into the background in Vegas, disguised in a pair of jeans, a button-up shirt, and sunglasses, a far cry from his usual beanie, Cloud9 shirt, and shorts. No one recognized him for hours as he grieved for his failure.A lot has happened since then. Hes had his low points, like when he finished 17th at HTC Throwdown, but hes begun to find his groove and also regain his competitive drive to be the best.Last year [in 2015], I didnt see thee fire in him.dddddddddddd He was complacent. But this year I see it. Hes angry and wants to win. I havent seen this Mango in over two years, said Monica Noriega, Mangos mother.On the other side of the console, his rivals have improved significantly from 2014 and Mango recognizes the respect that he now owes them. He stated that hes inviting several of southern Californias top players to his house for extended practice. Along with the usual Norwalk partners such as Joey Lucky Aldama and Johnny s2j Kim, Mango is inviting other top players such as Weston Westballz Dennis and Hugo HugS Gonzalez.Even with a fantastic victory at WTFox 2, Mango knows that he needs to do everything possible to win, even if it means adjusting his lifestyle habits. To prepare physically, he has reduced his consumption of alcohol and started maintaining a better sleeping schedule. The regrets of Evo 2015 still linger in the back of his mind. On a family outing, his mother reminisced over Mangos younger years.Even when he was a little kid, he only wanted to win. Hed get angry if he didnt, even if he placed second, she said.To Mango, its either win or bust. Second place is a failure. Sure, that amount of pressure could be self-destructive, but its that same mindset that pushed Mango into winning his first two Evo trophies.A year ago, he felt lost in a meta that seemed to surpass him with constant optimization in gameplay from the Swedes and Hungrybox. Now, he believes that he has figured out the meta through fine-tuning his pacing of aggressive and passive play. If he can find the right frame of mind to reach top eight, he believes that he can take the whole thing. Its up to him to maximize those chances.During Evo weekend on July 15-17, youre not going to see Mango partying late at night in a hotel room. Youre not going to see him eating hamburgers and fries like a normal gamer would. Instead, hell be in bed at a reasonable hour and hell be eating a balanced breakfast comprised of yogurt and fruits. Its all business from here until Sunday night, when he hopefully wins his third Evo trophy in front of the huge audience at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. ' ' '
