        Mikko Korhonen hit the front, Sean Crocker was finding his form, Jens Dantorp was robbed and putts were going in from everywhere on day two of the KLM Open.

        Here is everything you need to know from Friday at The International.

        Korhonen edges ahead

        Korhonen took an unconventional route to a 68 as he moved into the solo lead heading into the weekend. The Finn made a hole-in-one en route to a share of the lead on day one and he added every score from two to seven in round two to move to ten under. That left him one shot clear of American Crocker, who carded a 67, and two ahead of English duo Ross Fisher and James Morrison. Dane Rasmus Højgaard matched the lowest round of the day with a 65 to sit at seven under alongside England's Matthew Baldwin, Scot Ewen Ferguson, American Nicolo Galletti, Italian Matteo Manassero and German Matti Schmid.

        Crocker keeping it fun

        Crocker has played just six weekends all season to sit 114th on the Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex but his opening 66 and day-two 67 made a mockery of that form. He has been out of touch before, with eight missed cuts and one withdrawal in his first nine events in 2022, the year he went on to win the Hero Open. Could another stunning resurgence be on the cards? "Even when I am in contention I just want to kind of have fun, but I obviously know that there is an end goal at the end of this week for me," he said. "I haven’t played great golf since the start of the season, so I would like to get moving again and go in the right direction."

        Just the 62 feet from Ferguson - and he wasn't the only one at it.

                      Jens Dantorp, there are no words. This almost went in not once but twice.
