Jacques Kruyswijk defies breezy conditions to take lead

Magical Kenya Open R3

Reading time: 2 minutes

Jacques Kruyswijk started the day seven shots off the lead and signed for a 7-under, bogey-free 64 at Muthaiga Golf Club on Saturday to reach 14-under and take a one-shot lead into the final day at the Magical Kenya Open presented by absa.

“It was super breezy out there today but I played a really good game plan around this golf course, I wasn’t over-aggressive – as you could see on the last couple,” said the South African.

“I rolled a couple in, which is great, it’s always nice, but I just played super consistent and my mindset’s been really good all week.

“So whatever happens tomorrow is going to happen but I’m ready.”
