Scott Jamieson is looking for his second DP World Tour title – 10 years after claiming his first

Scott Jamieson holds a three-shot advantage over fellow Britons Nathan Kimsey and Eddie Pepperell after all three surged up the leaderboard during round two of the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa.

Scotland’s Jamieson is at 13 under at Leopard Creek after recording nine birdies in a blemish-free 63, with English pair Kimsey and Pepperell at 10 under, alongside France’s David Ravetto.

Jamieson’s sole victory on the DP World Tour came in South Africa a decade ago – the 2012 Nelson Mandela Championship in Durban – and he is handily placed to win in the country again.

Kimsey – a two-time champion on the Challenge Tour in 2022 – bagged eagles at the second and sixth holes as well as five birdies before bogeying the 18th during his eight-under 64.

Pepperell made a birdie-bogey start to his second round but then picked up a shot on the fourth before posting six birdies on the back nine, including four across his last four holes, to secure a seven-under 65.
