South African number one golfer Nobuhle Dlamini led the favourites through to the third round of the Sanlam South African Women’s Amateur Championship at Milnerton Golf Club yesterday.
After a first round bye, Dlamini enjoyed a comfortable 75 win over Durban golfer Claudia Redinger.
She was followed into the third round by the country’s number two ranked player, Kim Williams, who in contrast had to work for her 64 victory over Sylvia Masango.
Dlamini was hardly tested in her match against Redinger, despite her own uncertainties at the start of the match.
“I felt a bit of pressure in the beginning because I’ve never seen her play before and I don’t know what kind of player she is. So I had to start well,” she said of her par and then chip-in for birdie on the second to immediately put the pressure on her opponent.
Her only loose shot of the day was a drive that finished close to out-of-bounds on the 12th. “Other than that my game was solid and I’m happy with my start.”
