Challege Tour report and scoreboard
South African jumps into lead with an
eight-under 63 in Germany
EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS
South African Dean Burmester moved into pole position to follow his close friend and compatriot Jake Roos into the AEGEAN Airlines Challenge Tour by Hartl Resort winners’ circle as a course record-equalling eight under second round 63 moved him three clear at the top in Germany.
The four-time Sunshine Tour winner leapfrogged Portugal’s Ricardo Gouveia - the man who set the course record on day one to earn the first round lead - and moved to 12 under par for the tournament, just one shot shy of Roos’ winning score last year - although the par has been reduced by one to 71.
Much like his friend and 2014 Challenge Tour Graduate Roos, Burmester is a seasoned winner on Africa's top tour and two of his victories have come this season.
No wonder, then, the 26 year old is feeling confident heading into the weekend on a Beckenbauer Course which he believes is perfectly suited for South Africans.
“It’s awesome to tie the course record from yesterday,” said the Zimbabwe-born player, who has birdied 14 of his 36 holes this week, with an eagle to boot.
“I played very nicely so I’m really happy. The key to my success is that this is probably the closest it gets to home conditions for me.
“The heat has been tremendous over the past few days and there has been a little bit of wind around, but I also found something in my putting stroke just before I teed off in the first round and it seemed to carry on today.
“I made a couple of good putts coming in and that gave me this good score. I’m really happy out there, I’m feeling comfortable and I like the look of the golf course.
“I've won two this year so I’ve hit a bit of a purple patch and I’m just trying to ride the wave. I’d like to think I know how to go on and win. You learn how to do it, there’s no other way, you just learn from experience.
“You unfortunately learn by coming second. Some days you’ll win and you don’t know how you did it. Other days it’s just flawless. I’ve come second a few times and I’ve been playing well for a while now. I’m really looking to broaden my horizons and if I do end up lifting the trophy on Sunday that will be a step in the right direction.”
Gouveia, meanwhile, carded four birdies on the way to a one under par 70 and although he admitted it was difficult to follow up such a stunning first round, he was happy to still be right in the mix heading into the weekend in Bad Greisbach.
David Law made the low-scoring cut despite a second-round 74 but Wallace Booth missed the cut by four with a 76.
