Johannesburg, India's Udayan Mane shot a flawless eight-under 64 with a hole-in-one to open up a commanding six-shot lead after round two of the AM Green IGPL Invitational South Africa here.
Having shot a bogey-free seven-under 65 on the opening day, the Olympian went one better at the Royal Johannesburg's West Course to move to 15-under, the only player in double digits under par.
Trailing Mane in tied second place are: Manav Shah, Pukhraj Singh Gill and Gaganjeet Bhullar. Local favourite Musiwalo Nethunzwi was sole fifth, while rookie pro Danish Verma and another South African golfer, Alessio Graziani were tied for sixth place.
The scoring has been rather low with 27 players at par or better after 36 holes and there is one more round to go in the event.
Mannat Brar was the best placed woman player at T-21, as Vidhatri Urs slipped to T-25.
Mane begins with an eagle and then shot a hole-in-one on the Par-3 fifth as he went to 4-under in very quick time.
Three-time IGPL winner Bhullar is always a threat in any event. More so in recent times in AM Green IGPL.
In the team competition, Green Fuels Hyderabad led the standings with consistent performances by all four players Shah, Verma, Graziani, and Soni.
