DP World Tour: Investec South African Open Leaderboard
South African Thirston Lawrence is in the clubhouse with the lead late in round 2 at the Investec South African Open with rounds of 64 67 -13, two shots ahead of another Springbok Ockie Strydom 70 63 -11.
The Blair Atholl GC is one of the world's longest at over 8000 yards and Lawrence who won the Joburg Open in 2021 says his driver has always been the best club in his bag, but a recent putting tip from his father has the putts dropping so far for him this week.
" The last 3 weeks I've been putting awful, but my Dad saw something, gave me a tip and I trusted him. When the putts start to fall, your confidence rises, so let's hope I can keep this going."
Canada's Aaron Cockerill opened with a bogey free -4 68 and that has proved crucial. This morning the birdies dried up, but with 16 pars and just 2 bogey's his +2 74 see's him right on the cut line at -2, albeit 11 shots off the lead.
Round 2 was finally stopped before completion due to bad weather including lightning in the area. It will be completed at dawn on Saturday.
