Eugenio Chacarra takes solo lead at the halfway mark

Alfred Dunhill Championship R2

Eugenio Chacarra of Spain plays his second shot on the sixth hole on day one of the Alfred Dunhill Championship

Spain’s Eugenio Chacarra started the day tied for the lead and started his round with an eagle at the par-5 1st before firing six birdies and two bogeys for a 6-under 66. He leads the Alfred Dunhill Championship by two shots at 15-under heading into the weekend.

“There’s a lot of golf left,” said Chacarra. “It’s a course where people can go low and if you don’t have your best you can go high.

“So everyone can win, there’s a lot of guys out there.

“I’m just going to try to do my best, get a game plan with my caddie and I know if I execute and I play like I did these two days, I’m going to have a good chance coming out on Sunday.”

South African Jayden Schaper signed for a bogey-free 64 and lies in second place at 13-under followed in third place at 12-under by compatriot Branden Grace who made one bogey for a 67 and Englishman John Parry who also bogeyed once and closed with a 66.

South African Michael Hollick shot a 9-under, bogey-free 63 to move into a share of fifth place at 11-under alongside compatriots Oliver Bekker (one bogey, 67) and JC Ritchie (one bogey, 66).
