SWEDE SJOLAND TAKES ONE-SHOT
LEAD IN SOUTH AFRICAN OPEN

Swedish golfer Patrik Sjoland, who lost his European Tour card last year, is the surprise halfway leader in the South African Airways Open championship at Humewood Golf Club, Porte Elizabeth today.
Patrick, who reached the turn in five-under-par 30, finished with four straight birdies for a course-record 64 and a 12-under-par 132 tally. That gave the 35-year-old, who only regained his tour card and the recent Final Qualifying School, a one-stroke lead from home hopes Ernie Els and Trevor Immelman, both of whom shot 66s.
Three shots behind the Swede on 135 are Retief Goosen and Andrew Raitt, an Englishman who once played in the Scottish professional championship. Goosen had an eagle 3 at the 17th hole where he took an 11 in the first round.
Five players are on eight-under 136 - including Lee Westwood, who carded his second consecutive 68.
Leading Scot on 137 is Canada-based Alan McLean with scores of 69 and 68. Scott Drummond beat the cut with 73 and 67 for 140, but David Drysdale failed on 147.
