In the second round Hennie Otto shot 70 for a 9-under-par 135 total to hold onto his lead. Otto carded
a 38 on his first nine but followed up with a 32 on his second nine for a one-stroke lead over Greg Owen
and Roger Wessels. Owen and Wessels both shot second round 69s for 8-under 136 totals. Owen was in
position to share the lead until he bogeyed the 18th. Finishing in 4th place with 7-under-par 137s were
Tobias Dier and Bradley Dredge. Sixth place went to David Howell and Mikael Lundberg with 6-under-par
138s. Thomas Bjorn, Ignacio Garrido, Retief Goosen and Bobby Lincoln shared 8th place with 5-under-

In the third round Hennie Otto stayed in front by two strokes after shooting a 71 for a 10-under-par 206
total. Otto who has only finished once in the top ten, was in position to win going into the final round.
Finishing in second place was Roger Wessels with a third round 72 for an 8-under-par 208 total. Third
