A partly sunny 26*c, breezy 12-18mph E, day on Mauritius with a 70% chance of showers, greeted the players this morning, not as nearly as severe as Thursday and the scores have reflected it with a 22 year old rookie South African, Casey Jarvis in the clubhouse with the lead at 67 65 -12, he made 9 birdies today.
At the other end of the scoreboard, where the cut has been projected at +1, Aaron Cockerill is one of the guys looking to make it after an opening +5 77, he is in the late wave, opening with 2 birdies and 5 pars in his first 7 holes, he went on to post a gallant -4 68 missing the cut by a shot !
The cut line was +1 most all day until the latter stages of the round when it moved to E

EDIT >>>>Day 2 wrap up
Casey Jarvis opened up a two-shot lead at the midway point of the 2026 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open.
The South African, who shared the first-round lead with Scott Jamieson, shot 65 on Friday at Heritage La Réserve Golf Links to move to -12.
His nearest challenger was Alexander Levy, playing on a sponsor's invite after losing his DP World Tour card last season, whose 66 took him to -10 Spain's Manuel Elvira was another shot back at -9
The day belonged, though, to Jarvis. He opened with a birdie at the tenth and after giving that shot straight back at the next, he responded with back-to-back gains and another at the 16th.
He bogeyed the 17th but birdied the 18th, and then finished with a flourish as he birdied four in a row from the fifth before a closing par at the difficult ninth.
Jarvis - winner of two November events on the Sunshine Tour said: "I always love coming to Mauritius so to play nicely, to start well and then back it up with a good round today, lots of positives.
"There wasn't much wind out there until the last couple of holes so I took advantage of the good conditions.
"I feel like last week I got a little frustrated with my game and I'm just trying to have fun out here this week. I thought 'I'm in Mauritius, I might as well have fun' and yeah, it seems to be working.
"It's a different course to what I'm used to but it's a lot of fun. I like it that there are a few driveable holes out there.
"I've just got to stay patient, play my game, the game I've been playing the last two days, and we'll see what happens."
Levy chipped in at the tenth and holed a 50-foot putt at the 17th said after his bogey-free round: "Yeah, I played really solid today, I'm really proud.
"It was very tough conditions at the start, I managed myself to play really well on the front nine, didn't play my best on the back nine but I managed to put (together) a good score and I'm really pleased with that.
"It's an amazing place, I love to be here, I managed myself to be really focused on the golf course and enjoy afterwards and relax.
"(The course is) really nice, it asks a lot of you. You have to be really good from the tee, if you put the ball in a good spot from the tee you can manage to be aggressive and that's what I've tried to do this week. If you drive well you can manage to have some birdie chances."
Brandon Stone was fourth at -8 after a second consecutive 68, one shot ahead of fellow South Africans Herman Loubser 69 and 2017 champion Dylan Frittelli 69 and American Ryan Gerard 69.
Defending champion John Parry 68 was -6 alongside last week's Alfred Dunhill Championship winner Jayden Schaper 69, Michael Hollick 65, Francesco Laporta 67 and Tobias Jonsson 66. Jamieson followed his opening 67 with a level-par 72 to stay at -5
