Cabrera leads Clarke by two at

halfway in the Africa Open

Angel Cabrera leads Darren Clarke by two shots at the midway point of the Africa Open after a second round 68 took him 14 under par 130 at East London Golf Club.
The Argentine player carded a blistering ten under par 62 in the opening round and extended his lead with a four under par effort.
Northern Ireland’s Clarke climbed to second with a 65 for 132 with South Africa’s James Kingston one of three players a shot further back with a 133 total.
“It’s very nice to be leading. If I keep playing as I am, everything should be okay,” said Cabrera.
However, Clarke’s round must have been cause for some concern - he had four birdies on the front nine, and four on the back nine, and he got his round in before the late afternoon weather became breezier and drizzly.
“I got a huge break obviously with the weather,” said Clarke. “We get good draws and we get bad draws, and I’ve been very fortunate so far this week to get a good draw and I was able to make the most of it this morning.”
