JOHANNESBURG, Jan 8 — South African Branden Grace sunk birdies in consecutive holes to storm into a share of the lead at the South African Open before the threat of lightning and rain brought a premature end to the second round on Friday.
Grace, who had completed the 11th hole when play was suspended and later called off, was level with clubhouse leader and compatriot Keith Horne on eight under par.
Having sunk successive birdies between the second and fifth holes, Grace added two more on 10 and 11, his only blemish a bogey at the par-three sixth.
