Mark Johnson: Du Plessis has been incredibly notable.Shooting 19 under par is a testament to his skill and composure. He’s clearly pleasant on this course and playing with a lot of confidence. However, two strokes can evaporate quickly in the final round, especially with such a strong field breathing down his neck.
Absolutely. arnaus, in particular, is making a late surge with his stunning third-round 64. Nine birdies! That’s some serious fire power. Do you see him making a charge for the lead, Mark?
Mark Johnson: Arnaus definitely has the momentum. He’s playing fearless golf right now. If his putter stays hot, he could absolutely challenge for the win. Don’t underestimate Larrazabal and Elvira either, both consistent performers who thrive under pressure. This final round is shaping up to be a nail-biter!
We can’t forget about the other Spanish contenders in the tournament. Alejandro Caizares, while further down the leaderboard, is still within striking distance. And Jorge Campillo and Santiago Tarro, though a bit further back, could still make a move with a stellar final round. What impact do you think the strong Spanish contingent will have on the proceedings?
mark Johnson: The Spanish players have a proud golfing tradition, and it’s great to see so many of them competing at a high level here in South Africa.While their chances of winning might be slimmer now, they could always shake things up with lower scores and put pressure on the leaders.
Mark, with such a talented field, predicting a winner seems unachievable. Who do you think has the edge heading into this final round, and do you see any potential surprises?
Mark Johnson: It’s truly anyone’s game at this stage. Du Plessis has the lead, but the challengers are hungry for that first victory. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a playoff, honestly. Arnaus’s momentum is undeniable, but don’t count out Sterne, who has a vast tournament experience. This is what makes golf so captivating- the unpredictable drama!
