After the first round was suspended due to darkness, Justin Harding came back Friday morning to play the par-5 18th hole last. He would make birdie and end the first round in a tie for the 18-hole lead. The South African would build on that throughout his Friday round.
Harding signed for four birdies, two bogeys, and a 183-yard hole-out eagle on the sixth for a second day 4-under 68.
“I rolled the ball pretty good and, for the most part, kept bogeys off the card. Hit the fairway on the longer, tougher par fours,” he said of his second-round effort. “Ultimately just grinding. It was a grind of a day today, to be fair, just a bonus there on six.”
