McDowell leads, but strong field on his back

GRAEME McDowell will take a one-shot lead into today’s third round of the Nedbank Golf Challenge in Sun City.

McDowell overcame a double-bogey seven on the 14th to card a five-under-par 67 at the Gary Player Country Club.

At seven under par the former US Open champion tops a crowded leaderboard with defending champion Lee Westwood, world number four Martin Kaymer, Swede Robert Karlsson and American Jason Dufner all one shot behind.
