JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- South African Roger Wessels and England's Sandeep Grewal shared the second round lead in the Duhhill Championship Friday but soccer star Roy Wegerle failed to make the cut in his European Tour debut.
The little-known Grewal carded a superb 64 which included six birdies, two eagles and two bogeys, while Wessels did not drop a shot in his round of 66 as both took a one-stroke lead with 10-under par 134s.
Wegerle, the former QPR, Chelsea, Blackburn and Coventry striker who qualified to play in the tournament on Tuesday, shot a 4-over-par 76 on Thursday and needed a 68 on Friday to achieve
his aim of making the cut.
But the 37-year-old from Pretoria got off to the worst possible start on Friday and was quickly out of the running at Houghton Golf Club.
Grewal is playing in just his second European Tour event, the previous one having come in the same event last year when he shot rounds of 68 and 77 to miss the cut.
The pair had a one-shot lead over England's Anthony Wall, who bogeyed his final hole for a 67.
First round co-leader leader Paul McGinley started his second round with a bogey on the first to drop back to 5-under, five shots off the lead.
