By Samuel Blatchford

SOTOGRANDE, Spain – Anirban Lahiri leads at 7-under with a four-stroke advantage after round 2. Danny Lee is second, while three players are tied for third at 2-under.

Anirban Lahiri is leading the individual standings after a commanding 4 stroke lead in round 2 highlighted by 6 birdies. He stands at 7-under.

Danny Lee, of Iron Heads GC, who is at 3-under is still in second place after finishing the round 1 over par.

There is a 3-way tie for third: Eugenio Chacarra, Martin Kaymer, and Tyrrell Hatton are at 2-under.

Thanks to Lahiri, captain Bryson DeChambeau’s 67 and Paul Casey’s 69, the league-leading Crushers shot a counting score of 11 under to move atop the team leaderboard at 7 under. They have a four-shot advantage over Fireballs GC.

Lahiri is hoping that his prior close calls will pay dividends in holding off his chasers on Sunday. 

“All these experiences help,” he said. “It helped me today, as well, because even when I was ahead, I wasn’t really thinking about it. Just this golf course is perfect, actually, because you have no time to get ahead of yourself. Every shot is life-and-death almost.”
