Stenson Nedbank charge stopped by rain
Henrik Stenson increased his gap at the top of the Nedbank Challenge leaderboard before electrical storms stopped second round play this afternoon
Swede Henrik Stenson remains in command at the Nedbank Challenge after hitting 12-under-par through 10 holes. Yet play had to be suspended at the Gary Player Country Club in South Africa due to electrical storms at 14:26pm local time.
Once play resumes, Stenson's closest challenger, Rory Sabbatini will have a short birdie putt to sink which will move him to seven-under following a good start to the 2nd round with two birdies and no mistakes.
Other contender's include debutants Robert Karlsson, Stenson's Omega Mission Hill's World Cup-winning partner, and KJ Choi who joinSergio Garcia at two-under.
Karlsson had joined Stenson in the lead for a short time on Thursday before a bogey and two back-nine double bogeys widened the gap between him and his fellow Swede.
Garcia played a string of pars which he then converted for back-to-back birdies before the turn, pushing him back into contention.
At two-under, Garcia is one shot ahead of England’s Luke Donald while Kenny Perry is sharing the eighth spot with South African Open winner, James Kingston.
