Matthew Fitzpatrick hopes to be able to reproduce the impressive display that saw him fly up the Honma Hong Kong Open presented by Amundi leaderboard on Friday when he heads into the weekend.
On a day of spectacular scoring at Hong Kong Golf Club, Fitzpatrick fired eight birdies and no bogeys in the afternoon to sign for a flawless second-round 62.
That leaves him in third place on eight under par, six shots behind halfway leader Aaron Rai and two adrift of Hyowon Park in second.
He said: "It was great. I did everything pretty much right and played really well.
"I don't think I missed a fairway, so you know, that's the massive key around here because you put it in the rough and it's a guaranteed flyer pretty much.
"I hit every fairway and then just made sure to get every green, really, and gave myself a chance at putting and I feel like I'm putting OK at the minute, so yeah, it came together.
"Aaron had a fantastic round this morning and he's pulled himself away a little bit. But for me personally, knowing that I've done this once now, it would be nice to do it a couple more times."
Starting the day five shots off the pace following his opening 70, the Englishman made a fast start on day two, reeling off a hat-trick of birdies from the third to reach the turn in 31.
The 24 year old then caught fire on the back nine, rolling in his birdie putt from 25 feet on the 11th before making back-to-back gains at the 13th and 14th to jump up the leaderboard.
And Fitzpatrick tapped in his close-range birdie putt at the 16th before converting from 15 feet on the 17th to jump to eight under.
The Sheffield native had an opportunity to equal the course record set by leader Rai earlier in the day but missed his birdie putt at the last and had to settle for a second-round 62.
Fitzpatrick was playing alongside Masters Tournament Champion Patrick Reed who also enjoyed a late birdie blitz, getting six in his last seven holes to make the cut.
The Englishman was impressed by Reed's performance.
He added: "I knew he had to do well. I was watching his score and I was speaking to him on the way around. I know he wants to be here on the weekend.
"To finish the way he did was very impressive. You know, obviously he's the Masters Champion for a reason."
Reed, who has been struggling with pain in his ribs and side, came into day two with work to do after posting an opening 75 on Thursday.
And things got worse when the American followed up a birdie at the third with bogeys at the eighth and tenth to slip back to six over par.
Reed then made three birdies in a row from the 12th before repeating the trick at the 16th, 17th and 18th to jump up to level par and make it through to the weekend.
He said: "When I saw the putt go in on the 12th I knew from there it was a huge uphill battle from where I was.
"But the first thing I thought about to myself was, 'Well, we have a lot of holes coming up where if you hit the fairway, you're going to have wedges in your hand'.
"I felt like with wedges, it wasn't going to hurt too bad, so I could go ahead and be really aggressive.
"I was able to hit a lot of fairways and hit some close and make some putts there.
"You know, it's awesome to be able to come down the stretch and feel like a week is almost lost and then all of a sudden have seven holes left to go and birdie six of the last seven."
