Schwartzel sets the standard during round 2 of the Alfred Dunhill Championship

European Tour Alfred Dunhill Championship leaderboard http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2016/tournamentid=2015092/leaderboard/index.html#cF7MBkD8HWvpMls5.97

Former Masters champion and three times the winner here at Leopard Creek, Charl Schwartzel, playing in the early wave in a neon green shirt and snappy dark blue pants and hat, has added a 67 to his opening 66 to set the clubhouse lead at -11.

Adding to his nine European Tour titles he has had two wins and been second twice in the last four years, so seeing his name atop the leaderboard is old news and he told the press he feels he  is swinging it "better than it's ever, ever been"

First round leader after a stunning 64 is Christiaan Basson who is in the late wave today. Playing with his girlfriend as his caddie, and physio, Eddie Pepperell posted the low round of the day so far with a 65. Starting on the 10th he picked up eight shots in nine holes in the middle of his round

There is a large group now finished at -4 led by Thomas Aiken 68 and Ben Evans 69.

The projected cut is E, and Louis Oosthuizen at +4 can blame the par 3 7th if he's not around for the weekend, as he made the dreaded snowman (8) this morning and is +5 on the hole over 2 rounds.

The wind has freshened and is swirling around this beautiful Leopard Creek course making club selection difficult for the afternoon wave.
