Dredge in hunt for maiden win

BRADLEY DREDGE insisted he is ready to end his hunt for a maiden tour victory after holding on to his overnight lead at the Dunhill Championship in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Welshman added a second-round 68 to his opening 65 at Houghton, for an 11-under-par halfway total of 133 and one-shot lead over English duo Richard Bland and Mark Roe.

Denmark’s Anders Hansen, the 2002 Volvo PGA champion, was a shot further back after a 65 alongside South Africa’s Richard Sterne, who carded a 67.
