Eagle-eyed Els soars to the top at Sun City

ERNIE ELS eagled the par-four 17th and moved into the outright lead with a superb 65 on the second day of the Nedbank Challenge in Sun City, South Africa.

The South African's magnificent approach shot on the penultimate hole buried itself inside the cup without bouncing.

The eagle, the first in the tournament, was preceded by a sensational shot which gave Els a birdie on the 16th.
