Hong Kong (My Sportsbook) - Louis Oosthuizen fired an eight-under 62 on Friday to spotlight a four-way tie for the lead after the second round of the Hong Kong Open.

Oliver Fisher (65), Chawalit Plaphol (66) and European Ryder Cup team member Oliver Wilson (66) shared the lead with Oosthuizen at eight-under-par 132 heading into the weekend at Hong Kong Golf Club.

Colin Montgomerie (65) led a group of five players who stood one shot off the pace at seven-under 133 on a tight leaderboard. He was joined by Johan Edfors (65), Marcus Fraser (66), Francesco Molinari (67) and first round co-leader Richard Sterne (69).

John Daly (136), Bernhard Langer (136) and Jose Maria Olazabal (137) were among the 33 players who were within five shots of the co-leaders after 36 holes.

None of the co-leaders has ever won on the European Tour.

Oosthuizen earned his share of the halfway lead with eight birdies in a bogey- free round. The 26-year-old South African finished one shot off the course record of 61 shared by Henrik Bjornstad (2002) and Simon Yates (2006).

"I've been playing well for the last seven months, really, but I just can't get that final edge in," said Oosthuizen, who posted his personal-best score on the European Tour.

Wilson, who lost a playoff to Sergio Garcia at the HSBC Champions two weeks ago, mixed six birdies with two bogeys in his second round. He was a couple shots clear of the field before making a bogey on his last hole.

"I'm obviously pretty happy with the first two days," said the 28-year-old Englishman. "It has gone according to plan so far."

Fisher, the youngest among the co-leaders at just 20 years old, racked up five birdies in a spotless round. He got things rolling early on with three birdies on his first six holes, including two on approaches within a few feet.

"It is very good," said the young Englishman. "I played very solid and I am in a good position going into the weekend."

Plaphol also got off to a good start, making three birdies on his first five holes. The two-time Asian Tour winner added two more birdies later on, but was done in by a lone bogey at his 10th hole.

The cut line fell at even-par 140 with 82 players making it to the weekend, including defending champion Miguel Angel Jimenez, who made it on the number after shooting a 69.

Jason Hak, a 14-year-old amateur from Hong Kong, made history as the youngest player to make the cut in a European Tour event after his second consecutive even-par 70. He beat Garcia's record by 107 days.

Not so lucky was European Ryder Cup captain Nick Faldo, who went 72-70 to miss the cut by two shots.
