South African Women's Open

GREAT DANE JULIE GOES SIX SHOTS
CLEAR AFTER SECOND ROUND

Overnight leader Julie Tvede from Denmark raced into a commanding six-shot lead after the second round 69 for 11-under-par tally of 135 in the Acer Women’s SA Open at the Durban Country Club.
Tvede birdied every one of the par-5 holes. birdied the lot. She sank a 12ft putt at the third but drove into a bunker at the fifth and did very well indeed to get up and down for a second birdie.
The calm Tvede then took a three wood off the eighth tee, simply chipped up to the pin and went up and down for her third birdie to go 10 under par at the turn.
On the first par five of the back nine, the 10th hole, she hit her second shot with a rescue club to within sixty metres of the pin, and then rolled in 8ft putt for birdie No 4. Her final birdie came on the 14th hole when she hit her second shot within forty metres of the pin, pitched it long by a good three feet, but holed the downhill birdie putt.
By now Tvede was feeling far too enthusiastic and overshot the pin at the 17th by 15 feet from which distance she three-putted for her only bogey of the round.
"Just as well it was a par-4, after all I had birdied all the par fives though," said a delighted Tvede.
Six shots behind and no stranger to South Africa is Anne-Lise Caudal from Biarritz, South Western France. She played in the 2006 Amateur World Championship in Stellenbosch. First time playing as a professional on the local tour, Caudal started off well from the 10th tee where she made birdie. She then dropped two shots when she three-putted both the par-4 13th and 17th holes, to turn on 3 under.
Anne-Lise drove right of the fairway at the first hole, but recovered after a long second shot to birdie it.
Caudal got into a little more trouble on the par-4 seventh hole when her tee shot went straight into a bush, but with a five iron she made the green, only to two putt and card her third bogey of the day.
Her final birdie of the day came when she drove her trusted three wood off the eighth tee, and used it again for her second shot to make the green. She then two putted to make birdie and carded an even par round 72, to put her one shot clear of leading South African Stacy Bregman.
Bregman had a patient, bogey-free round.
The leading amateur at two under par for the tournament is 16 year old Bonita Bredenhann from Namibia, having carded a 73 round today.
England’s Rebecca Hudson was ecstatic when she holed a five-iron from 158yd into a slight breeze for a hole in one at the par-3 second hole. Rebecca finished the second day in fifth place, four under par for the tournament after a 75.
Final round of the Acer Women’s SA Open gets underway from 07.00 local time with the leaders off from 09.10 at the Durban Country Club.
