McIlroy makes move at South African Open

Rory McIlroy held the clubhouse lead midway through the afternoon session at the South African Open after a five-under-par 67 moved him to within two shots of overnight leader Michael Lorenzo-Vera.

The Frenchman was on a tournament total 13-under-par through his first nine holes after an erratic opening saw him begin with a birdie on the second hole, before a double bogey on the par-five third was followed up with an eagle two holes later.
