Intro:
England's Matt Ford claims a one-stroke lead following the second round of the European Tour's Africa Open in South Africa on Friday (6th March).
Script:
As always, the wildlife was out in force as round 2 of the African Open got underway at the East London Golf Club in South Africa on Friday.
Kevin Phelan held a share of the lead overnight but only managed to go round in a level par 72 leaving him tied for 14th at the end of the day.
Germany's Maximilian Kieffer made an early case for round of the day with a stunning nine-under 63.
He eagled the first and enjoyed a run of four birdies in five holes on the back nine to make up for a poor first day, which saw him limp in with a 74.
While, Jaco van Zyl leads the local charge, also shooting six-under for the day to go eight under for the tournament and sit third in the leaderboard.
Eduardo de la Riva was in the clubhouse in second spot, after carding a 66 that featured eight birdies and two bogeys.
But the day belonged to Englishman Matt Ford once again.
He continued his excellent form from day one as he produced a round of 66, which sees him sitting a shot clear of the Spaniard after two round.
