“Definitely it will give a boost for the final stages but my target still remains to play well and finish well.”

Toit who finished the first day on 66 seven under par looks favorite to win the tournament but would face stiff competition from fellow South Africans Doug McGuigan and Desne van den Bergh who finished the day on 64 nine under par and 65 8 under par respectively.
The tournament continues today with 65 golfers who made the cut after the first two rounds on Thursday and yesterday.
