David Drysdale makes South Africa cut

with not a stroke to spare

Dunbar's David Drysdale survived the cut with nothing to spare today in the Sunshine Tour's Telkom PGA Championship at Country Club Johannesburg.
The Scot goes into the weekend's final two rounds in joint 57th place after rounds of 73 and 70 for one-under-par 143, the qualifying limit.
Dunbar saddled himself with a double bogey 7 at the third in his opening round but an outward half of 33 in his second round, with birdies at the fifth, sixth and seventh, gave him a bit of breathing space for beating the halfway cut until he bogeyed the short 13th. That left no room for any further bogeys and he managed to get the required pars at the last five holes.
Glasgow-born Canada-based Alan McLean is in joint 31st place with rounds of 72 and 68 for 140.
Former Tartan Tour player William Guy, who emigrated to South Africa several years ago, missed the cut with rounds of 75 and 72 for 147.
South African Jean Hugo leads the field by only one shot after rounds of 65 and 69 for 10-under-par 134.
