Harrington falters as Grace hits the front

For the second day of the Volvo Golf Champions at Fancourt in South Africa, Pádraig Harrington finished with a double-bogey seven and, having also dropped shots on the previous two holes, the Dubliner’s 73 left him, and Open Champion Darren Clarke (68), with eight shots to make up to leader Branden Grace.

The lead is still four shots after two rounds but now it is local man Grace rather than Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts out in front.

Grace, last man into the European Tour’s winners-only event thanks to his victory at the Joburg Open last Sunday, shot a 66 to reach 12 under par.
