British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen shot a 6-under 67 in brutal wind Friday to move within a stroke of the lead at the midway point of the Africa Open.
Oosthuizen trails a group of three players at 10-under 136, including South African Branden Grace and England's Miles Tunnicliff, who has second-round 69s. Austria's Markus Brier shot 66 in gusts up to 35 miles per hour to join them in the lead.
"Hopefully the wind will keep blowing, because I think it's the way this golf course should be played," said Oosthuizen, who climbed 21 spots on the leaderboard Friday.
"There was a lot of shot-making, which I like," he said. "Like from 100 meters out, you take a 7-iron, or something like that. I still think there were quite a few birdies out there today."
Oosthuizen demonstrated that after opening with an eagle on the 507-yard first by making five more birdies on a day when everyone else around him seemed to be dropping shots.
