Schwartzel Surges Into Five-Stroke Lead at Dunhill Event

MALELANE, South Africa — Charl Schwartzel continued his love affair with the Leopard Creek County Club as he surged into to a five-shot lead after the second round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship on Friday.

The 18-hole course on the border of the Kruger National Park has wild animals roaming its fringes and crocodiles and hippos lazing in the water features.

It has long been among Schwartzel’s favorites and the former U.S. Masters champion dominated on Friday as he completed his first round with a 66 and then shot 67 in the second for an 11-under-par total at the halfway mark.
