SASKATOON -- Jaco Ahlers fired a 9-under 63 to take a two-stroke lead after two rounds at the PGA Tour of Canadas Dakota Dunes Open on Friday. The South Africa native moved to 16-under par ahead of countryman Doug McGuigan (64) and Nick Taylor (63) of Abbotsford, B.C., who finished the day tied for second. "I just hit the ball great," said Ahlers, who made eight birdies, a bogey and an eagle. "Ive been hitting the ball great for a long time and just this week it all came together. Ive made a few putts and hit a few great shots, but mainly Ive been hitting the ball well." Ahlers, who is rooming with McGuigan, said their strong play is no coincidence. "Its funny enough, I said to Doug earlier in the week, the greens are designed very South African, and its all the same grass," said Ahlers. "You can see the line better because youre used to this type of grass." Taylor, a former world No. 1 amateur who finished fourth at last months Times Colonist Island Savings Open, said hes making strides in his play this season. "I felt like Ive improved every year," said Taylor. "Maybe mentally this year Im a bit better, and Ive progressed a bit there too. I think everythings been a little bit better this year."Zapatos Salomon Trekking Hombre .
