James Hart du Preez carded an opening 63 to take the lead of the Steyn City Championship by one shot.

"Golf is so difficult that when you have days like this you don't question why they happen, you don't question what you're doing, you just carry on and enjoy it."

The South African seemed on course for a 59 finish when he reached 11-under with two holes to play but closed with back-to-back bogeys.

"With everything that's happening in the world at the moment, for us to be here playing on a fantastic course, shooting 59 is not pressure. There's a lot more going on, I was just having fun.

"I think when I missed the birdie putt from off the green at 17 (the 8th) I knew the chances of 59 - it's weird to think about shooting 59 on the course - but when that missed I think a bit of the focus lapsed."

"Although it was in my head, it wasn't necessarily something that I realistically thought of, I was just trying to take it shot-for-shot and keep making good decisions.

"Food's going to taste pretty good tonight after a round like this, tomorrow is just another opportunity to play well, make good decisions and enjoy the course."

Fellow South Africans Jaco Ahlers and Shaun Norris are tied in second place alongside Italian Nino Bertasio afer all three signed for bogey-free 64s.

Two more South Africans, George Coetzee fresh from his fourth place at last week's MyGolfLife Open, and Ruan De Smidt, share fourth place at 7-under with France's Romain Langasque, Sweden's Sebastian Soderberg and the Netherland's Darius van Driel.
