South Africa Round 2 Match Detail on SportFeed

Bryson DeChambeau seized sole possession of the lead after 36 holes, carding a 6-under 65 to move to 14-under par. The Crushers GC captain electrified the gallery early with a "slam-dunk" eagle from the rough on the par-4 1st hole and added a 31-foot birdie on the 2nd to sit 5-under through his first five holes.

Despite a double-bogey on the 12th that briefly stalled his momentum, DeChambeau rallied with two birdies in his final three holes to establish a two-stroke advantage. The chasing pack is led by Branden Grace and David Puig, who both sit at 12-under par.

Grace delighted the local fans with a gritty 66, while Puig matched the low round of the day with a 7-under 64. In the team competition, the Southern Guards GC slipped to second place at 34-under, trailing Torque GC by two strokes after Joaquin Niemann’s squad posted a collective 22-under on Friday.

Meanwhile, world number one Jon Rahm remains a significant threat at 11-under, having played 36 holes without a single bogey, keeping him within three shots of DeChambeau’s lead.
