Otaegui leads

-

Adrian Otaegui of Spain shot an 8-under 62 on Saturday to take a two-shot lead at the Tshwane Open in Pretotia, South Africa. Otaegui had a small chance to shoot the first 59 in European Tour history when he needed to pick up two shots on the last two holes. But he settled for par on No. 17 after just missing a chip-in for birdie, and then bogeyed his last hole, his only dropped shot of the day. The 22-year-old Otaegui still made nine birdies at the par-70 Pretoria Country Club, jumping 18 places up the leaderboar­d and moving to 11-under 129. South Africa’s Merrick Bremner was second on 9 under after a 66. Overnight co-leader David Horsey dropped three shots off the lead in a tie for third on 8 under with Keith Horne, Edoardo Molinari and Trevor Fisher Jr.
