TROWBRIDGE professional Steve Surry shot a one-over-par round of 66 in the rain-affected Nelson Mandela Championship in Durban today.
After two washed-out days at Royal Durban in South Africa the inaugural Nelson Mandela Championship was cut to 36 holes and began on a course reduced to a par 65 because of the saturated fairways.
Denmark's Morten Orum Madsen birdied three of his last five holes for a 60 and shares the lead with local hope Tim Clark, while 20-year-old Chris Lloyd, of England, is only one behind along with another of the home contingent, Lindani Ndwandwe.
After the disruption on Thursday and Friday the objective is to get 36 holes played by Sunday evening, but if there are any more delays and it is possible to finish the second round on Monday then that will be done.
