BEL-OMBRE, Mauritius (AP) — Swedish golfer Sebastian Soderberg will take a one-shot lead into the weekend at the Mauritius Open after shooting a 7-under 65 in Friday’s second round.

Soderberg, ranked 149th, made nine birdies at La Réserve Golf Links in a round that was only marred by a double bogey on the par-3 No. 7.

Marcel Schneider of Germany and South Africa’s Jacques De Villiers are his nearest chasers. France’s Antoine Rozner, the overnight leader, along with Englishmen Paul Waring and Daniel Brown are two shots off the pace.

“It was just one of those days where it felt easy,” said Soderberg, who started the day seven strokes off Rozer’s lead. “I didn’t think I would be right where I am at this point yesterday, but it is nice.”

The Mauritius Open completes the swing of tournaments in Africa before the European tour takes a break until January for a string of events in the Middle East, starting with the Dubai Invitational on Jan. 11.
