Intro:

Adrian Otaegui misses out on European Tour's first ever round of 59 but earns two-shot lead in Pretoria at halfway stage.

Script:

With six players at the top of the leaderboard and 15 more within three shots of the lead, the Tshwane Open in Pretoria, it's safe to say this tournament is anything but boring.

Spain's Adrian Otaegui just missed out on recording the European Tour's first ever round of 59, with nine birdies in the first 16 holes at the Country Club, including five in a row from the eighth.

This means he now stands, going into the third round with a two-shot advantage.

Home favourite and club member George Coetzee is four off the lead after a 66, with defending champion Ross Fisher three shots further back following a 67.

Englishman David Horsey, who with three European Tour titles has more than the rest of the leaders put together, grabbed a share of the lead at the turn with 33, and finished with a round of 69.

It looks like Pretoria is set for a thrilling final day on Sunday.
