Gavin Moynihan carded a five-under 67 and Robin Dawson a superb 66 to make the cut in the Challenge Tour’s RAM Cape Town Open at Royal Cape.

Moynihan made five birdies in a bogey-free effort to move up 57 places on the leaderboard to tied 22nd on three-under, leaving him eight shots behind leader Daniel Van Tonder of South Africa.

It was an even better day for Portmarnock Links touring professional Dawson, who leapt 99 spots to 51st on one-under after he made eight birdies in his six-under round.
