Reitan on course for victory at Nedbank Golf Challenge


Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan is on course for a second victory on the DP World Tour — this time at Africa’s Major — the Nedbank Golf Challenge in Sun City, in the North West.

The 27-year-old opened up an eight stroke lead before the third round was suspended due to lightning. He made an eagle on the picturesque ninth hole and followed that up with four birdies over the next five holes to move to seven-under-par for his round and 19-under for the tournament.

Reitan has three holes to complete in round three and then Sunday’s final round.

South African Ernie Els’ 1999 tournament record of 25-under-par at the Gary Player Country Club will be in his sights.

Two South Africans, Jayden Schaper and Christiaan Bezuidenhout, are in a tie for second on 11-under.

They still need to complete their third round, but there’s daylight between Reitan and the rest of the field who are all playing for second place at the moment.
