Chinese teenager Li Haotong set a course record with a six-under-par 65 to take the second round lead at the Nanshan China Masters yesterday.

Li, who is only 19, leapt to the head of the pack in the US$1 million OneAsia event at Nanshan International Golf Club, three shots ahead of New Zealand's Nick Gillespie and American Garrett Sapp.

"I had many good putts today," said Li, who has been part of China's national team since he was 14. "I will not think about the result because every time I do, I get thirsty to win and then I don't win." Daniel Woltman of the US had shared the lead after the first round, but his tournament fell apart with a five-over-par 76.
