Danish golfer two strokes from lead at Trump's Scottish course

Danish golfer Jacob Skov Olesen remains in contention at the Nexo Championship, part of the DP World Tour, held at Donald Trump's course in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. After two rounds, Olesen is positioned just two strokes off the lead.

Olesen carded a par in Friday's challenging, windy second round. This followed his performance in the first round, though the second round saw more fluctuations with four birdies countered by two bogeys and a double bogey. Despite the difficult conditions, he holds a share of sixth place heading into the weekend.

His consistent performance this season, including recent sixth and ninth-place finishes, highlights Olesen's strong form. With six top-ten finishes overall, he is currently ranked 17th on the tour's season standings, making him a strong candidate for one of the ten PGA Tour cards available through the DP World Tour.

Fellow Dane Lucas Bjerregaard, who was also near the top after the first round, struggled significantly on Friday, shooting six over par and dropping to a tie for 46th. Niklas Nørgaard, the third Danish player in the field, is tied for 36th after shooting three over par in his second round. The total prize money for the tournament is approximately 19 million Danish kroner.
