DOUBLE DISAPPOINTMENT FOR HORSEY
David Horsey saw his Hong Kong Open bid falter after a double bogey at the 18th left the 26-year-old four behind leader Alvaro Quiros midway through his second round.
Having ended yesterday in a three-way tie for the lead alongside Quiros and Rory McIlroy on six under par, Horsey soon improved to seven under with a birdie at the 12th, his third hole of the day.
However, the Stockport golfer gave the shot back at the 15th before a disappointing six at the 18th saw him slide to four under as he reached the turn in 37.
Quiros, meanwhile, moved into sole possession of the lead as three birdies over the back nine saw the Spaniard move to nine under par.
However, a bogey at the first checked his progress and he sat two ahead of McIlroy, who was due to begin his second round later, through 10 holes.
Australian Darren Beck was at five under par following two birdies and a bogey in 13 holes, and he was alongside Miguel Angel Jimenez, with the Spaniard even par for his day after 12 holes.
Frenchman Gregory Havret and Australia's Marcus Fraser stood level with Horsey on four under through eight and 12 holes respectively while Northern Irishman Gareth Maybin was three under thanks to a hole-in-one at the fourth. - http://www.sportinglife.com

12BET Golf - Nedbank Golf Challenge (Winner) 12/1
The Nedbank Golf Challenge is an annual men's professional golf tournament played at the Gary Player Country Club in Sun City, North West province, South Africa. It is not an official money event for any of the major tours, and like many high profile unofficial tournaments in professional golf it takes place between the conclusion of the PGA Tour in early November, and Christmas. It usually attracts many of the world's highest ranked players.
The tournament is a twelve man invitational stroke play event, with the field being made up of defending champion, the Sunshine Tour order of merit winner, the four major winners and then completed with the top players in the Official World Golf Rankings following the U.S. PGA Championship. In 2006, the tournament carried world ranking points for the first time since 1999.
When it was conceptualised by Gary Player and founded by Sol Kerzner in 1981, the tournament was known as The Million Dollar Challenge because of its US$1 million prize fund, with the winner's share being $500,000. In 1987 the event was played on a "winner takes all" basis, with the winner claiming the whole of the million dollar purse. This was designed to overcome any qualms the world's top golfers might have about competing in South Africa during the apartheid era, and it was successful in doing this in many cases. In 1988 the winner's prize was again $1 million, but additional prizes were introduced.
From 2000 to 2002 the first prize was increased to $2 million, but the following year the winner's share of the total prize fund was reduced from more than half to around 30%. The standard winner's share on the PGA Tour is 18% and on the European Tour it is 16.67%. In 2006 the winner received $1.2 million out of a total purse of $4.385 million, so the prize distribution is now not far from the normal pattern for a professional tournament, once allowance is made for the small size of the field. That $2 million first prize remains the largest in professional golf, but was matched in 2011 by the Lake Malaren Shanghai Masters.
