Leader Clark makes solid start

South African Tim Clark moved himself into position to reclaim the SAA Open title here at the Royal Durban Country Club today, taking a two-shot lead over the rest of the field as the tournament drew to a close.

Clark fired two more birdies on the front nine to move ahead of his compatriots while Ryder Cup star David Howell was looking for a strong back nine to lay a firm challenge for the title.
