“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.

As much as he is doing his best not to think about it, it’s impossible to ignore the idea of what a win here would mean for Lombard, never mind the US$2.5m cheque for first place.

Oosthuizen was still feeling the effect of his kidney stones as he struggled through his 72 to go into the weekend on nine under par. 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.
