Norris leads Joburg Open amid ear infection struggles

Shaun Norris is leading the Joburg Open after an impressive second round of 63, despite battling an ear infection that has affected his hearing and sleep. He sits at 11-under-par, one stroke ahead of Frenchman Adrien Saddier, who carded a 65 but dropped a shot at the last hole. Norris expressed frustration over the infection but noted it hasn't impacted his performance on the course, allowing him to focus fully while playing. India's Shubhankar Sharma and Scotland's Connor Syme are tied for third at nine under par, both shooting second-round 65s. Norris is aiming for his third DP World Tour title after winning the Alfred Dunhill Championship in December. The tournament holds special significance for Sharma, as it was his first win on the DP World Tour in 2017.
