Bezuidenhout ended with 71 to go with his opening round of 72 to leave himself on 143 overall, tied for 37th and eight shots off the pace of tournament leader Ludvig Aberg of Sweden.

Burmester, two shots behind Bezuidenhout on 145 and tied for 57th, also fired a round of 71 after an opening round of 74 to be 10 shots off the lead.

However, it was the end of the line for Erik Van Rooyen (72) and Casey Jarvis (78) as they both missed the cut.
