Classy Oosthuizen grabs 5-shot HSBC lead

South Africa\'s Louis Oosthuizen picked up six shots in just five holes on the way to a red-hot 63 and a big five-stroke lead in the $7 million WBC-HSBC Champions on Friday. An eagle on the par-five seventh sparked a blazing run from the 2010 British Open winner, who birdied his next four along with 15 and 16 for a nine-under-par round and a total of 16-under 128 at southern China\'s par-72 Mission Hills. Oosthuizen\'s round, blotted only by an early bogey on the second, opened up a healthy advantage over a top-quality chasing pack led by Adam Scott and Ernie Els, who were tied on 11 under par. \"You can see there\'s a lot of birdies out there with five par-fives,\" said Oosthuizen, who was greeted at the clubhouse by his wife and young daughters, who are travelling with him. \"But I\'m making it easy for myself -- I\'m hitting a lot of good shots. It\'s far from over, there\'s a lot of golf left. I need a good round tomorrow to get myself in position for Sunday.\" Four-time Major-winner Els turned at seven under par and added two more birdies on his way back for a 63, matching his fellow countryman Oosthuizen, while Scott shot 68. Phil Mickelson, the event\'s only double winner, was set for a share of second place until he found greenside rocks on the 18th for double-bogey, dropping down to tied sixth with Dustin Johnson. Jason Dufner, Mickelson and Johnson\'s American Ryder Cup team-mate, shot 66 to share fourth spot with Ireland\'s Shane Lowry, who had 68. Scott, who had shared the first-round lead with Oosthuizen, played a sumptuous front nine studded with four birdies but he stumbled on his return with three bogeys and another three birdies. \"I played OK today -- I got off to a good start but on the back nine I missed a few greens and I had to scramble, and it\'s tough when it\'s fast around the greens,\" said Scott. The Australian escaped from a bunker on the third hole for his first birdie of the day, and he picked up further shots on four and five to take a two-shot lead early in the round. A inappropriate cry of \"Adam, we love you!\" from two female marshals spurred him on, but it was Oosthuizen who then took charge with his eagle on the par-five seventh, cueing up a birdie blitz around the turn. Oosthuizen birdied the par-three eighth, escaped out of a bunker to within a foot on nine, drained a 20-footer on 10 and then chipped to an unmissable distance on 11. Two more birdies on 15 and 16 completed a pleasing day\'s work for the 30-year-old, who now has great chance of recording his sixth win and the second biggest of his career, after the 2010 Open.
