The DP World Tour remains in the continent of Africa for the third week running, with Glendower Golf Club playing host to the Jonsson Workwear Open. Nick Bachem returns to defend his title after he claimed a maiden DP World Tour title at the Jonsson Workwear Open last year. After a slow start to the 2024 Race to Dubai, in which he registered one top 20 in his first eight starts, the 24-year-old is perhaps rediscovering some form after finishing in a tie for fourth at last week’s SDC Championship. Tom McKibbin will also be in the field this week. The Northern Irishman has finished in the top 25 on all five starts he has made since the turn of the year. Most recently claiming a 12T at the SDC Championship last week and finishing 4th at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in February. He’ll be looking to claim his second DP World Tour title having won his first in his rookie season last year. Rikuya Hoshino will also be in South Africa this week. He’ll be looking to find the same form that that won him the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in February. Others to look out for are Dylan Fritelli, Ewen Ferguson and Jordan Smith.

Becker oh and a beautiful shot landed like a butterfly with sore feet absolutely lovely Becker at 14 under par after a round of 65 on Friday but this is the man we were all talking about when we arrived at the course a front 928 that at the second

Very easy to steer away from the flag it was positive and well done back to ter foundre at the 16th with a birdie putt nice definitely a little bit of wiggling on the greens now pitch at 130 and he might walk off with the three settle nice you know you see the

Difference between where he was and his playing part it’s probably 30 or 40 yards I reckon he’s H an iron off the T and he’s left himself a gap W in almost exactly the opposite he’s got to try and make sure he hits us hard enough oh what a birdie nice finish

That’s the way to do it Aron off the T Gat wedge in keeps it below the hole wouldn’t be surprised eyes if he opens up their the face and PS quite a big swing pop it up and over oh it is a beauty cantero at the second to get back
