Golfers are tied for the lead and one stroke clear of Bryce Easton and Lyle Rowe

“I’m very pleased with how it went,” said. “The weather was a bit on and off with the rain and I didn’t really know what to expect, but luckily it stayed pretty good and I managed to capitalise. I got off to a great start with birdies at the first three holes and I just played nicely from there. I hit a lot of good iron shots and kept the ball in play.”“I was one over early in the round and the scores were pretty good in the morning so I put a bit of pressure on myself.

“I think it’s the best golf course in the country. It obviously helps that I’ve won here. But I love the golf course. When they moved the SA Open to the Gary Player Country Club I always thought I’ve got a chance of winning it here.” As their nearest challengers, both Easton and Rowe relied heavily on strong iron play to work their way into contention.

“I hit a lot of good iron shots today. I hit a few close and that didn’t leave me too much work to do with the putter. It was quite cool to be dialled in like that. My iron play definitely gave me a lot of opportunities,” said Easton.“It’s just such a good course, and it’s in great condition. If you give yourself a chance on these greens you’ll make putts. I hit my irons really well and that gave me a lot of birdie chances.
