The players came in just before 2pm local time at the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club, but not before the Scotsman had completed a faultless round of 66 to go with his 65 in round one for a tournament total of 11 under par.

He currently leads South Africa's Oliver Bekker, who carded a six-under-par 65, by one stroke.

Bekker, who held the lead for most of the morning, said: "I don't think I could have had a better draw for this tournament because I was off first in the afternoon on the east (course), getting the good greens and I didn't have to worry about thunderstorms in the afternoon.

"I didn't have a good finish at the end of last year, so I'm just trying to manage myself better on the golf course by cutting out the bogeys, maybe not playing as aggressively and trying a little more conservative shots and playing within myself."
