Amateur Zhang leads in Chengdu

Near-perfect from tee to green, Chengdu-based amateur Zhang Xinjun shot a stunning six-under-par 66 to take a two-stroke lead over first-round leader Yuan Hao at the halfway stage of the Luxehills Championship, the Omega China Tour's first event in the Sichuan capital. Guangzhou-based Yuan, 28, birdied his last two holes to post a 69 and go nine-under. Taiwan's Tsai Chi-huang also birdied two of his last three holes for a second successive 68 to lie third. Benny Ye Jianfeng, a 16-year-old amateur, is fourth after a 69 put him seven-under.
