PRETORIA (Reuters) - Michael Hoey sunk seven birdies in a row on his back nine, but finished his second round three shots behind leader Ross Fisher at the European Tour's Tshwane Open on Friday.

Having turned at the Copperleaf Golf & Country Estate on level par for his round, Northern Ireland's Hoey landed birdies from the 10th to the 16th holes for a seven-under-par 65 that took him to 10-under for the tournament.
