South Africa’s Aldrich Potgieter sunk four birdies and an eagle for a round of 66 in difficult conditions and a three shot third round lead in the DP World Tour’s Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City on Saturday as he seeks a first win on the European circuit
The 20-year-old was one of the few players to master the course on Saturday and produced the lowest round of the day with a blemish-free 18 holes that leaves him on seven under-par for the tournament.
He is three shots ahead of England’s Matthew Jordan (71) and Italian Francesco Laporta (69), with three more players on three under-par, including defending champion Max Homa (72) from the United States.
Potgieter’s only previous professional win was a two-shot victory at the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic on the Korn Ferry Tour in January this year. REUTERS
