SOUTH AFRICAN JOINS SCOTS IN FIRST-ROUND LEAD
From Lali Stander
TSHWANE– Pretoria Country Club golfer Keegan de Lange vaulted into a share of the lead at five-under-par 67 at the completion of the rain-affected first round of the Sanlam South African Amateur Championship at Silver Lakes Golf Estate today.
Lighting and thunder brought a premature close to play on Sunday, but after play resumed at 6.30am local time, the 18-year-old Gauteng North golfer finished off his round in fine fashion with two birdies and an eagle on the par five 18th.
De Lange began his round with three birdies on his opening nine, but bogeyed both par threes down the home straight. The drops were offset by his fast finish, though, and De Lange joined early pacesetters Greig Marchbank and Daniel Young from Scotland in pole position.
The 36-hole Stroke Play Qualifier for the Proudfoot Trophy will determine the top 64 players that advance to the Match Play championship.
