Bad weather halts play in Nedbank Challenge
as Stenson increases overnight lead to six

A lightning storm caused a suspension of play that lasted for the rest of the second day of the Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City, Johannesburg in South Africa.
None of the select field had completed their second round when they were brought in off the course.
Ryder Cup Swede Henrik Stenson who started the second day with a five-shot lead thanks to a brilliant 63, had increased his lead to six shots after 10 holes when the siren sounded to suspend play immediately.
"I am scrambling a little bit compared to yesterday," Stenson said. "It is always hard to follow up such a good round with another one just as good, but I am happy where I am at."
Playing partner Rory Sabbatini was standing over a birdie putt to cut the lead to five shots when the siren sounded.
