Day two digest: 2020 Celtic Classic

Sam Horsfield held off the challengers as he took a one shot lead into the weekend at the 2020 Celtic Classic.

The 23-year-old carded a stunning seven under par 64, despite a triple bogey six at the 17th, to reach 11 under par at The Celtic Manor Resort.

First round leader Thomas Pieters worked his way to the summit alongside Horsfield before he found water at the last to fall one behind ahead of Moving Day.

Here is everything you need to know from Friday's second round in Newport.

Horsfield having fun at the last

The Englishman carded a superb eagle at the last to set the halfway target of 11 under - which nobody could match - thanks to this exquisite approach.

Horsfield playing in the sand

This will be some debate, which shot was Horsfield's best of the day? His approach to the last or his hole out at the 16th? You decide.

Life is a roller coaster for Beef

Andrew 'Beef' Johnston enjoyed the high and lows of golf during his second round to move into contention at The Celtic Manor Resort. He opened up with a triple bogey seven on the opening hole before dropping another shot at the fifth. Birdies at the sixth, eighth, ninth and 11th helped him return to four under before a sensational five under finish on the final four holes. An eagle two at 15th was followed by a huge birdie putt at the next. He then dialled into three feet and two feet respectively at the last two holes for further gains to get to a tie for third at nine under.

When Harry met Jordan

Jordan Smith and caddie Harry Bird were mic'd up for the second round and the latter was in fine form with his witty comments. Smith carded a second successive 68 to sit five adrift of Horsfield. Here is just a snippet of Bird's humour.

Migliozzi's immaculate drive

Guido Migliozzi made the most of the driveable par four 15th with this stunning tee shot. He went on to birdie the hole.
