Day 2 in Numbers: Alfred Dunhill Championship

Renato Paratore

Branden Grace put on another fine display of golf on day two of the Alfred Dunhill Championship in his native South Africa, while the day's biggest mover was Italian Francesco Molinari, who climbed into second place by himself. Here's the best numbers from day two at the picturesque Leopard Creek CC...

16– under par for Grace leads the way going into the weekend

7– birdies for the South African in his second round 66

5– under par would be Grace's eclectic round if you took his worst score on each hole this week

17– birdies for the 26 year old already this week, and just the one dropped shot

6– holes have been birdied by Grace in both rounds – they are the first, sixth, 11th, 13th, 15th and 18th

5– shots separate the front-running South African from nearest rival Molinari, who shot a seven under 65 second round

13– under par for the front 13 holes this week for Italian Molinari

67– is Tjaart Van der Walt’s favourite number – the South African has carded two five under par rounds at Leopard Creek CC this week

9– under par after two rounds for Danny Willett, who shot a 69 in the second round

30– on the front nine for 17 year old European Tour debutant Renato Paratore

5– birdies in a row for the fledgling Italian between the second and sixth holes

6- eagles at the par five 18th on day two

11– birdies so far this week for defending champion Charl Schwartzel, who has also made four bogeys and one double bogey

3- South Africans are in the top five – Branden Grace, Tjaart Van Der Walt and Shaun Norris

8– under par and tied seventh place is where Challenge Tour winner Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston lies at the half way stage

1– under par is were the cut line fell

74- players will return for the last two days

3.68- was the scoring average for the easiest hole on day two - the par four sixth

3.34- was the scoring average for the hardest hole on day two - the par three seventh
