"Over the last few holes I was very tired," Drysdale said. "I had a nice run of four birdies in a row, but then bogeyed two of the par threes and that is always disappointing."

Through 36 holes, the leaders are 12-under 132.

Spain's Alejandro Canizares is alone in fourth place at 11-under 133.

James Kingston (69) of South Africa is fifth at 10-under 134.
