'Playing with two legends of the game, it was nervy. But I settled down quickly with a birdie on the second and it was just all really good vibes from there.'

Playing alongside two former world No 1s with six Nedbank Golf Challenge titles between them, it was Lombard who stole the show with a round that was the best of the day and lifted him to the top of the leader board on 11 under par.

“Playing with two legends of the game, it was nervy. But I settled down quickly with a birdie on the second and it was just all really good vibes from there,” he said. “It’s a huge opportunity, but I just need to keep myself calm and do the same on the weekend. I’ve got a great team behind me and the processes are in place. I’m going to stick to my processes. It sounds clichéd but it’s as simple as that. And we see where it puts me at the end of the week.”

Lombard’s performance was put into perspective by those of his vastly more experienced playing partners. Westwood lost some ground with his 73 and Els stumbled with an 81.
