Sweden's Marcus Kinhult has taken charge in the European tour's Alfred Dunhill Championship on the famed South African course of Leopard Creek, shooting a four-under par 68 to take a three-shot lead after the second round.
Kinhult had entered Friday tied for second place after a 65 in the opening round at the beautiful course on the border of Kruger National Park, and added seven more birdies to go with three bogeys to move top.

Dean Burmester, Dale Whitnell and Andrea Pavan are his nearest chasers three behind.
World No.46 Thriston Lawrence, the only player in the 156-man field ranked in the top 50, missed the cut after following up his opening-round 75 with a 72.
The tournament is the second straight event in South Africa on the European tour, following last week's Nedbank Golf Challenge.
