The golfers of DP World Tour continue to battle in one of the two weekly events that coincide with the official start of the 2024 season. We have reached the end of the second round of the Joburg Open (prize money R20.5 million), event born in 2007 and organized in collaboration between the European Tour, Asian Tour and Sunshine Tour,
After the first 36 holes, the hosts dictate the rules. In first position we find Nikhil Ramawho leads the leaderboard with a score of -13 (127 hits). The South African flies to the top thanks to a -8 bogey free round enhanced by the eagle on hole 3. For him a one-length margin over his compatriot Tristan Lawrenceand three on other South Africans Dean Burmester e Jaques Kruyswijk. -9 and sixth place for another representative of the Rainbow Country, namely Zander Lombard, followed respectively by one and two strokes by his compatriots Jaco Prinsloo and Darren Fichardt.
On the par 70 course at the Houghton Golf Club in Johannesburg (South Africa) the home team’s dominance is partially interrupted by those who close the top ten in eighth position. With a score of -5 we find the American Chase Hanna, the English Dan Bradbury and Ross Fisher, the Spaniard Manuel Elvira, the Finn Tapio Pulkkanen, and finally the South Africans Dylan Frittelli, Dean Germishuys and Dylan Mostert.
To find the first Italian, unfortunately, you still have to scroll through the rankings. In 44th place with a score of -1 we find Francesco Laporta, who quickly overcomes the cut thanks to a good lap of -2. Instead he continues the path at par with par for Matteo Manassero. The Veronese scored 70 for the second time in a row and opened his new return to the top circuit by passing Friday’s cutoff in 59th place. Finally, nothing to do Andrea Pavan e Renato Paratore (73rd with +1), e Lorenzo Scalise (98° con +3).
