Day 2 In Numbers: True Thailand Classic

It's a 51 year old who leads the way in Thailand, but there are plenty more numbers of note at the halfway stage of the inaugural True Thailand Classic presented by Black Mountain. Here are ten of the best from round two. 

133 - Shots for Miguel Angel Jimenez through 36 holes, enough to put him top of the leaderboard, one shot ahead of Kiradech Aphibarnrat.

28- Since turning 50 last year, Miguel Angel Jimenez has had 28 rounds in the 60s on The European Tour.

26- Miguel is now 26 under par for his last five European Tour rounds in Thailand, having won the 2004 Johnnie Walker Classic on his last competitive visit.

65- The low score of the day by Wade Ormsby, Prom Meesawat and Rikard Karlberg. No surprise from Karlberg - he lives on the course.

1.357- Putts per Green in Regulation for Meesawat in round two. The Thai was working hard on his putting late last night at Black Mountain Golf Club.

36- Our first round leader, Michael Hoey, celebrated his 36th birthday today shooting double his age, a level par 72.

3- Bogeys for Alex Noren today. He had made just three bogeys in his previous 118 holes before that.

201- The distance of the 14th hole today, aced by Thailand's Panuphol Pittayarat with a six iron. His prize? A brand new townhouse on the course.

330- Longest average driving distance on Friday, belonging to last week's Maybank Malaysian Open winner, Anirban Lahiri.

35.7- The percentage of fairways found by Scott Hend after two days. Despite this, the Australian is still very much in the mix at nine under par.

14- Matt Ford found all 14 fairways today, yet only managed to find nine Greens in Regulation, en route to his second round 74.
