In the second round of the Nedbank Golf Challenge, Julien Guerrier surged ahead, holding a one-stroke lead. Guerrier, who recently clinched his first European tour win at the Andalucia Masters, showcased his skill with a remarkable 4-under 68 amidst challenging windy conditions at the Gary Player Golf and Country Club.
Defending champion Max Homa, who had a strong start, fell back two strokes after encountering back-to-back double bogeys on the 16th and 17th holes, relinquishing his lead to Guerrier.
Joining Guerrier at the top of the leaderboard are Romain Langasque and local favorite Ockie Strydom, both trailing by just one stroke.
Reflecting on his performance, Guerrier expressed gratitude for being able to score under par in the tough conditions, emphasizing the importance of maintaining patience throughout the round.
The competition at the Nedbank Golf Challenge promises to intensify as the tournament progresses, with top contenders vying for the prestigious title.
