Dan Bradbury matched the course record with an 8-under 63 to take the lead in the Joburg Open before play was suspended overnight due to thunderstorms.

“It was pretty good to be fair – I can’t really complain with a 63 can I?” said the Englishman, who is playing on a sponsor invite this week.

“I got a little bit of momentum going early on the back nine, then the (first) thunderstorm obviously stopped that.

“Both (eagles were) just great drives – had nine iron into them both, front flags, just hit it nice and high and it’ll stop. Then obviously you’ve got to roll the putt in.

“This is my first time really playing at altitude. Keegan, the local caddie, he’s been great getting me used to all that but yeah, the ball’s going miles. Both those par fives, I had I think 180 and 188 (yards) in – it just doesn’t make sense.”

Germany’s Nick Bachem shot a 64 to lie in solo second place.

France’s Romain Langasque and Clement Berardo, who stayed bogey-free, share third place at 6-under.

England’s Nathan Kimsey holds a share of fifth place at 5-under with Finland‘s Sami Välimäki and South Africa‘s Thriston Lawrence (bogey-free) and Jaco van Zyl.

Play for round 1 will resume at 06:45 with round 2 due to commence at 07:15
