There is a four-way lead at the top of the leaderboard after day two of the South Africa Open.
Danielle Montgomery, Joanna Klatten and Ashleigh Simon joined Friday's leader Caroline Masson at the summit at the Selborne Park Golf Club.
The German dropped three shots in an eventful round which saw her birdie the first and fifth, but bogeys at the third, ninth, 10th, 11th and 16th allowed the rest of the field to get back into contention.
England's Montgomery carded a two under par 70- the second best score of the day- as she collected five birdies and three bogeys.
Klatten's one over round included two birdies, as she replicated yesterday's effort of dropping a shot at the 17th before making it up at the last.
Home competitor Simon produced level par for the second day running, as she birdied the third and bogeyed the 16th.
Julie Greciet is one shot behind the leaders at one over, while Stacy Lee Bregman, Lee-Ann Pace and Bree Arthur are all a further shot back at two over.
