Denmarks Thorbjorn Olesen set a new course record to take command of the Turkish Airlines Open as Danny Willetts hopes of becoming European No. 1 nosedived.Olesen fired eight birdies and an eagle in a superb 62 to reach the halfway stage of the ￡5.7 million event on 15 under par, six shots clear of Spains Adrian Otaegui and Thailands Thongchai Jaidee.With the Regnum Carya Golf Resort & Spa hosting the tournament for the first time, Otaeguis 63 had earlier eclipsed the course record established by first-round leader George Coetzee, who could only add a 73 to his opening 64.Willett, who needs to finish outright fifth or better to reclaim top spot in the Race to Dubai from Henrik Stenson, fared even worse with a 74 which left him 16 shots off the lead and in a tie for 58th in the 78-man field.Olesen was in contention for a Ryder Cup place after winning the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last year and making a strong start to this season, but had missed the cut in seven of his last 10 events before this week.The 26-year-old was invited to Hazeltine anyway by fellow Dane Thomas Bjorn, one of European captain Darren Clarkes vice-captains, and now has extra motivation to qualify for the team which will try to regain the trophy in Paris in 2018.It was a great experience, Olesen said. In the beginning it was a little bit difficult to be there when I had a pretty good chance in the summer to make the team, but I felt like I learned a lot being around the captain and all the vice-captains.One of my goals is to make the team and if I make it I will be more prepared and know a little bit of what Im going into.Its so different from any other tournament and I realised that when I got there. Its so much bigger than you think and I was standing on that first tee on Friday to see the atmosphere there and get a bit of that feeling.The crowd were really rough. Some of the stuff [shouted by fans] was very personal and I thought it was hard for the players. Im happy I saw that because thats how it going to be in America in the future as well.Germanys Martin Kaymer enjoyed a similar experience to Olesen at Valhalla in 2008 and famously went on to secure the point which retained the trophy at Medinah in 2012.I hope to be part of the team, Olesen added. Obviously holing the winning putt would be great, but as long as we win thats the most important thing. I think I can be there. If I keep playing well there is a good chance.Willetts Ryder Cup debut ended in disappointment after three defeats from three matches amid the furore caused by an article written by his brother Pete which criticised the behaviour of American fans.And the 29-year-old is also in danger of missing out on the Race to Dubai title for a second year in succession after failing to card a single birdie in his second round in Antalya.Masters champion Willett had led the money list since claiming his first major title at Augusta in April, but was overtaken by Stenson on Sunday after the Open champion was joint second in the WGC-HSBC Champions and Willett finished 75th in the 78-man field.That turned Stensons deficit of more than 400,000 points into a lead of 261,387 heading into the three events of the Final Series, with both men set to play in South Africa next week and the season finale in Dubai.Willett had been encouraged by an opening 69 and hit every fairway in regulation on the front nine on Friday, but failed to get up and down from just left of the sixth green and dropped further shots on the 16th and 18th.Willett refused to speak to reporters at the end of his second round, but later tweeted: Well this game is really kicking me in the nuts at the minute!!

Stitched Rangers Jerseys .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch.NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma has rallied to salvage what appeared to be a lost season.The Sooners entered the year with hopes of returning to the College Football Playoff, but they dropped games to Houston and Ohio State early and fell out of the Top 25. Now, No. 9 Oklahoma has won six straight to take control of the Big 12. The Sooners (7-2, 6-0 Big 12, No. 11 CFP) now must defeat their recent nemesis, No. 25 Baylor, to maintain their momentum.Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said hes impressed that the Sooners have performed so well, given the rough start and a slew of injuries to key players, including star running back Samaje Perine.Weve been resilient, Stoops said. I still think theres more. Hopefully, to finish the season, we can be stronger and better and more consistent. I think we can keep improving. But weve been a resilient, tough-minded team to have handled what we have to this point.Baylor (6-2, 3-2) is coming off a humbling 62-22 loss to TCU , but that doesnt mean much to Stoops. The Bears have the best record in the Big 12 the past three years and have won two conference titles to Oklahomas one.Baylor is trying to overcome outside distractions. Coach Art Briles was fired in May after sexual assault allegations against some of his former players. Still, the Bears still won their first six games under acting head coach Jim Grobe, climbed to No. 8 in the AP poll and appeared to be the conferences best hope for a spot in the playoff.With additional allegations made recently and assistant coaches and staff members supporting Briles on Twitter last Friday, the Bears struggled to focus. They say they are ready for Saturday.Were beaten up, but we are not going to lie down, Baylor quarterback Seth Russell said. We are going to continue to fight.Here are some things to watch Saturday:RARE SKIDThe Bears are trying to avoid their first 3-game losing streak since the middle of the 2012 season, and they are 43-10 overall since then. Its going to be a ttough task.dddddddddddd realize that for us to go to Oklahoma and have a chance, we have to play so much better than we have this year, because were playing the most talented football team that weve faced so far, and maybe the best coached, Grobe said.SOONER DOklahomas defense was ripped for 59 points and 854 yards against Texas Tech, but the Sooners bounced back with two of their best performances of the season against Kansas and Iowa State. Baylor is a different level of opponent though -- the Bears rank sixth nationally with 541.8 yards per game.Texas Tech, that was a small bump in the road, and I feel like weve gotten past that, Oklahoma safety Steven Parker said. We play better, we practice better. This game, going into it, feel like were very confident.PERINE POWERPerine is expected to play Saturday after missing three games with a pulled muscle in his right leg. The 235-pound bruiser rumbled for 166 yards and two touchdowns in Oklahomas 44-34 win at Baylor last year. In his past six November games, he has rumbled for 1,220 yards and 14 touchdowns with an average of 8.5 yards per carry.DEEP THREATOklahoma receiver Dede Westbrook has produced one of the best seasons in school history, and hes in the running to be considered for major hardware. In six Big 12 games he has 47 catches for 1,012 yards and 12 touchdowns. He has at least 105 yards and a touchdown in each league game.LINWOOD OUTGrobe suspended running back Shock Linwood for the game, citing attitude issues. Linwood is Baylors all-time rushing leader with 4,056 yards. Terence Williams, Baylors leading rusher this season with 691 yards and eight touchdowns, will have a greater role. Redshirt freshman JaMycal Hasty has posted two 100-yard rushing games.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP ' ' '
