DP World Tour : Investec South African Open Leaderboard
Canada's Aaron Cockerill knows how to keep all his family, friends, sponsors and fans on tender hooks.
With the 36 hole cut moving from +1 to E the 31 year old from Teulon, Manitoba had an opening round with 3 birdies and 3 bogey's E72 heading into today and was on the same path with a front nine 2 birdies, 2 bogey's E 35.
Playing on the cut line always adds pressure, especially when he opened the back nine with 6 straight pars, just one mistake can make the difference.
He had made bogey 5 on the 16th yesterday and when he did it again moments ago, to move to +1 he was out of the weekend.
However a clutch par 3 at the 17th, meant birdie or bust at par 5 18th. He made birdie there on Thursday and as we all watched our computers today,,, up popped a red 4, birdie 35, 35 72 E and in for the weekend. !
The leader after 36 holes is Sweden's' Jesper Svensson 68 67 -9.
South African Casey Jarvis 66 70 -8 is joined by Italian Matteo Manassero 68 68 -8 and Joakim Lagergren 65 71 -8.
There are 13 players within 4 shots as this version of the South African Open continues.
