American Dustin Johnson has fired a course record to rocket into the lead at the WGC Champions tournament in Shanghai.

The American fired six birdies in his first seven holes on his way to a nine-under par second round of 63 that's seen him jump to 12-under overall.
He's a massive five shots clear of a three-way tie for second including
compatriots Boo Weekley and Bubba Watson and overnight leader Rory
McIlroy.
McIlroy is at seven-under after he failed to capitalise on his opening round.
Johnson says he would have never seen that round coming.
"When I played the course on Wednesday I didn't make one birdie. I hit it okay, I just didn't make any putts."
He says it was one of his better rounds.
"I hit one bad drive on 18 but got away with it. That's really by far
the worst shot I hit all day and I still ended up making birdie."
Mark Brown is the best of the Kiwis at four-under in a tie for 18th with Michael Hendry well back at one-over.
