Cejka and Goosen share first-round lead in the 100th South African Open tourney

Alex Cejka shot an 8-under 64 Friday for a share of the first-round lead of the 100th South African Open in Durban, South Africa, with two-time winner Retief Goosen.

They were one stroke clear of Ernie Els and Charl Schwartzel after completing play that had been rained out Thursday at Durban Country Club.

The second round will be played today, after which the cut will be made to 50 and ties, instead of the original 65. Those who make the cut will play 36 holes Sunday to complete the European Tour and Sunshine Tour event.
