AFP, GOLD COAST, AustraliaChina’s Yuan Yechun yesterday blitzed the field for a one-shot lead after the second day of the European Tour cosanctioned Australian PGA Championship, but wily Adam Scott lurked dangerously for a weekend charge. It left him one clear of Australia’s Anthony Quayle, who mixed six birdies and an eagle with two bogeys in his 66. 18 Scott is well placed heading into today, two off the pace after draining three birdies in his final four holes. Another Australian and the defending champion, Cameron Smith, also made a move, stroking a bogey-free 65 to surge back into contention for a third Australian PGA title. “It was tough yesterday, [because it was] so draining last week... It’s amazing what a day can do in the game of golf,” he said.
