STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Matthew Fitzpatrick, who claimed his first European Tour victory in the British Masters at Woburn in October, surged to the top of the Nordea Masters leaderboard with a second-round 65 on Friday.

The 21-year-old Englishman's seven-birdie effort gave him an 11-under total of 133, three ahead of fellow countrymen Ross Fisher (68) and Andrew Johnston (69), Swede Alex Bjoerk (68), Scott Henry of Scotland (69) and Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts (66).
