SUN CITY, South Africa, (Reuters) – World number one Lee Westwood gave a golfing masterclass to sprint three shots clear of the field after the Sun City Challenge second round yesterday.
The 37-year-old Briton fired an eight-under-par 64, with four birdies on each nine and no bogeys, to finish on 12-under 132 at the Gary Player Country Club.
Westwood ended his round with a flourish as another immaculate approach shot to the 18th left him with a 12-foot birdie putt which he sank.
Fellow Englishman and Ryder Cup team mate Ross Fisher carded a 68 to take second spot on 135.
Overnight leader Padraig Harrington, another member of Europe’s triumphant Ryder Cup side, could only manage a 72 as he wound up six strokes off the pace.
