Tommy Fleetwood reflected on “a great two days” in the company of fellow Ryder Cup heroes Luke Donald and Shane Lowry after storming into contention at the inaugural DP World India Championship.

Englishman Fleetwood followed up his opening 68 with a flawless 64 on Friday to reach 12 under par at the halfway stage in New Delhi.

Playing alongside Europe’s talismanic Captain Donald and his team-mate Lowry over the first two days, Fleetwood said he felt comfortable out on the course.

He said: “Unbelievable three-ball. I think because you’re so comfortable with each other, you do your own thing. “It’s always like a bonus when you’re with two guys that you’re really close with.

“Shane actually told me about the draw and I was really pleased. It has been a great two days.

“I feel like if I’m playing with Shane for the next two days, I’ll be doing something right probably.”

Despite making eight birdies and keeping his card clean in round two, Fleetwood feels Delhi Golf Club is providing a “great test” for the world-class field.

He said: “It’s just such a unique challenge for all of us.

“I haven’t hit more than a five wood. The one hole where I’d hit more is 18, but you get to that and you’re like, ‘well, I haven’t hit one, and I don’t really feel that comfortable with it’.

“It’s such a unique challenge, and the greens are firming out a little bit and the pins have been tricky.

“It’s been very, very enjoyable. It’s a test of patience when you’re not quite on it because it’s one of those courses, you get a few of them where you feel if you hit it good off the tee you’re going to have some short irons and wedges and feel like you’ve always got a chance of going on a run.

“It’s such a waiting game. You’ve got to be very patient. It’s been a great test.”
