Halfway Hut at the BMW PGA Championship: Aphibarnrat leads, Scott looking to hunt him down
A round-up of the best stats, quotes and social after 36 holes at Wentworth where Kiradech Aphibarnrat leads on 12-under but Adam Scott is among those hunting him.
His nearest rivals Laurie Canter and Francesco Laporta are Wentworth debutants and behind the pair of them are arrayed a high quality pack of chasers.
Adam Scott carded a 69 to grab solo fourth on 10-under, with Jamie Donaldson, Justin Rose and Billy Horschel sharing fifth on 9-under.
Among those a further shot back are Shane Lowry, Thomas Pieters and Christiaan Bezuidenhout.
65-69 (10 under par) ✍️

The third round record of Wentworth halfway leaders
Experience of being in-contention
Who among the weekend golfers who possesses that experience?
Other well-known names with that know-how are Miguel Angel Jimenez, Lee Westwood Danny Willett, Francesco Molinari and Alex Noren.
Halfway Hut punt
The Brit and the Irishman are fancied by the bookies (both 8/1) and you can get Zanotti at 40/1. But Bezuidenhout at 16/1 is the shout.
