Danish odd couple Soren Kjeldsen and Thorbjorn Olesen complemented each other perfectly at Kingston Heath on Friday, flirting with a rare 59 before settling for a three-shot lead at the halfway stage of the World Cup of golf.Kjeldsen got the Danes off to a flyer in the best-ball format by holing out from 152 yards for eagle on the third hole.Olesen -- who has previously enjoyed success in Australia as the winner of the 2014 Perth International -- chipped in at the eighth as the pair amassed two eagles and eight birdies.They finished a dream day at 12-under-par, three shots clear of Chinas Wu Ashun and Haotong Li, with first-round leaders Rafael Cabrera Bello and Jon Rahm from Spain a stroke further back in outright third place.Americans Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker were in a tie for fourth at seven under.Australians Adam Scott and Marc Leishman were all but out of contention after battling to a four-under 68. It left the local favourites 10 shots off the pace in a tie for 18th as they struggled to build any real momentum on a cold, windy day at Kingston Heath.Kjeldsen said the strength of his partnership with Olesen was their contrasting styles.Temperament-wise I dont think were that different but game-wise were very different, said the 41-year-old, who has won four times on the European Tour.Thorbjorn is very flashy, he hits it very far off the tee and overall just has an amazing game, whereas Im like a train -- I arrive on time but without too much of the flashy stuff.Both Danes had previously shot 61s in individual strokeplay, with Olesen admitting the magical figure of 59 crossed his mind after a fifth successive birdie on the 14th.In the end they could only manage one more birdie -- on the 18th -- for a 12-under 60.I didnt know what the par was on this course but I thought 13 under would definitely make it, said the 26-year-old Olesen.I had it in my mind and I was still trying to play the same golf and be aggressive.We came up one short but Soren hit an amazing shot into 18 and it was great to finish that way.Scott and Leishman will need a major change in fortunes at the weekend if Australia are to successfully defend the World Cup crown.Leishman started and finished his day well with birdies on the first and 18th holes.I certainly didnt play the way I wouldve liked, he said. But thats golf and it can do that to you. Im still staying positive, hoping weve saved all of our good stuff for the weekend. Cheap Retro Jordan .
