THE WONDER OF WESTWOOD - THREE AHEAD AT SUN CITY

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
World No 1 Lee Westwood produced a brilliant eight-under-par 64 to storm into the lead at the halfway stage of the Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City, South Africa today. 
The Englishman, who began the competition with a four-under 68 on Thursday, was flawless on Day 2 on his way to collecting eight birdies. Lee leads fellow Ryder Cup team winner Ross Fisher (68) by three strokes on 12 under par.
Three more players that tasted success with Europe at Celtic Manor - Edoardo Molinari, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Padraig Harrington - are three strokes further back on six under.
Italian Molinari, along with South Africa's Tim Clark, managed the second best scores, with their 67s at the Gary Player Country Club giving them hope for the weekend. Ernie Els was all alone on five under after shooting 68, with Clark's effort seeing him climb to four under, the same score as defending champion Robert Allenby after his second successive 70.
But the day undoubtedly belonged to Westwood - a player clearly on top of his game after surpassing Tiger Woods as world number one at the end of October.
"I haven't played a lot recently, so I still feel a bit rusty," Westwood said. "But today was great, it was about getting the most out of the round."
