Adrian Meronk became the first Polish player to share the lead at a European Tour event on Thursday, and the first to hold solo lead after a second round 66 at Leopard Creek Country Club.


He made three early birdies and a bogey to make the turn in 33 before three more birdies, an eagle and an unfortunate bogey at the last hole left him at 13-under, three shots ahead of England's Richard Bland and Dane Joachim B. Hansen.

โ€œIโ€™m very pleased," said Meronk. "I hit a lot of good shots and am very happy with my position.



โ€œThe last couple of holes were quite dark, especially the last one. I didnโ€™t want to rush anything because Iโ€™ve been in that position before and rushed it.

"Iโ€™m excited, I can't wait. Itโ€™s only halfway and thereโ€™s still a lot of golf to be played. But Iโ€™m very happy."


Meronk continues to forge his own path, he was also the first Polish player to hold full European Tour playing privileges after graduating from the European Challenge Tour and winning the 57ยฐ Open de Portugal @ Morgado Golf Resort.

Hansen, who won last week's Joburg Open, carded the lowest round of the week with a 64. Bland, a fellow Challenge Tour graduate, had his first top ten result this season last week and is looking for his first European Tour victory in his 468th event.
