Erlandsson leads in South Africa

One of the best shots of his life helped Swede Martin Erlandsson to an eight-under-par 64 and a one-stroke lead on the opening day of the South African Open.

In addition to six birdies, Erlandsson, seeking his first European Tour win in more than 170 attempts, hit a three-wood to three feet on the 530-yard fifth at Pearl Valley.
