Jamieson and Bjork share Tshwane Open lead

Scotland’s Scott Jamieson and Sweden’s Alexander Bjork share the lead at the halfway stage of the Tshwane Open, but the round of the day belonged to home favourite Thomas Aiken.

Aiken had an outside chance of recording the first 59 on the European Tour when he played his opening 15 holes at Pretoria Country Club in nine under par, meaning he needed to birdie the last three to break the magical 60 barrier.

A bogey on the seventh, his 16th, ended Aiken’s chances of making history, but he bounced back with a 10th birdie on the next on his way to a 62, 10 shots better than his first round.
