VIRGINIA WATER, England (Reuters) - Danny Willett veered from the sublime to the ridiculous, following a record 29 on the front nine with an inward half of 39 as he shared the second-round lead at the BMW PGA Championship on Friday.

The U.S. Masters winner surged to the top of the leaderboard alongside South Korean Yang Yong-eun (69) and Scott Hend (69) of Australia after a scintillating burst of scoring on another sunny day at Wentworth that yielded six birdies in seven holes to the ninth.
