The Black Knight was hard-pressed to select only one shot for his #StrokeofGenius in Friday’s second round of the Nedbank Golf Challenge, hosted by Gary Player.

It was a round that again brought out the best in the players as they battled a tough golf course and equally challenging conditions.

At the end of it, Frenchman Victor Dubuisson seized a two-stroke lead on six under despite a lightning delay.

His nearest challengers on four under were South Africa’s Darren Fichardt and England’s Lee Westwood.

“I have to make it a tie,” said Player.

Alex Noren was the first to get Player’s vote for his chip-in on the 10^th hole.

“He had to chip over kikuyu and up over a mound, and chipped it right into the cup, which gives you great strength when you go to the 11^th tee,” said Player.

Leader Dubuisson was also top of Player’s list for his long birdie putt on the par-four sixth.

“Dubuisson had this putt...I’d say 60 feet...To knock it in from that distance takes talent.”
