Nicolas Colsaerts found himself in a precarious position on Friday in Round 2 of the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open. After hitting his tee shot right near a wall bisecting the fairway, the Belgian bomber faced hitting a massive cut with a helping left-to-right wind if he wanted to find the green.

For a guy as talented at Colsaerts, this was an easy shot.

The Dude abides.

In difficult scoring conditions, Colsaerts shot 7-under at Four Seasons G.C. at Anahita, just one of three players to break 70 on Friday. He's at 4-under aggregate and trails 36-hole leader Andrew Dodt by four shots going into the weekend.
