McGrane covers back nine in 30 and
then birdies 10th in SA Open

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Damien McGrane made a flying start to his second round at the South African Open Championship to move into a one shot lead at Pearl Valley Golf Estates this morning.
The Irishman started on the tenth tee and picked up six birdies on the way out for a six under par 30 on the back nine.
He added another birdie at the first to reach seven under for the day and nine under for the tournament.
That was enough for a one-stroke lead on the overall scoreboard from first round leader Fabrizio Zanotti - who was not due out until the afternoon - and Lee Westwood.
Westwood built on his opening 66 with three birdies and a single bogey in his first 11 holes to reach eight under par for the tournament.
South Africans have won this event seven years in a row and two were mounting their challenge during the early stages of the second round.
Thomas Aiken and Charl Schwartzel were both seven under, through 12 and ten holes respectively, to lie level with Swede Oskar Henningsson who was yet to tee off.
FULL REPORT AND ALL THE SCORES AT THE END OF THE DAY WITH PROGRESS REPORTS (if we can find the time!)
