South African golfer Jacques Blaauw has taken a one-shot lead after the second round of the Joburg Open at Randpark Golf Club.
Blaauw carded a superb round of 8-under 63 - including an eagle and seven birdies - to sit on top at 13-under.
"I'm very happy I was able to finish. I hit it very well all day and then made some putts. I only made one bogey so I'm very happy. It was very windy out there, but I found it didn't affect my distances that much," said Blaauw.
"I can't think ahead because there are two more rounds to go. Golf is the job and I need to get that job done. But I've done some good work in the build-up to this tournament and I'm very happy with how it's turning out."
Blaauw holds a one-shot lead over former SA No 1 amateur Wilco Nienaber, whose second round was interrupted by threat of thunderstorms.
Nienaber made six birdies and two bogeys as he posted a 4-under 67 to sit at 12-under.
"A delay is never nice, and I had it on that part of the course I really didn't want it. Those last four holes are really tough, but I got through it. I'm happy I finished," said Nienaber.
Canadian Aaron Cockerill was the leader in the clubhouse on 10-under after the early starter carding a 68.
