ERENO FIRES 10-UNDER TO TAKE EARLY LEAD AT DURBAN OPEN
The Jonsson Workwear Durban Open teed off today at the Durban Country Club with a blistering start, as young star Pablo Ereno surged to the top of the leaderboard with a superb 10-under-par 62.
Ereno, one of the most exciting rising talents on the Sunshine Tour, delivered a commanding performance to lead the clubhouse after day one.
“This course was playing firm and fast, and I’m really happy with how I managed my ball-striking and putting today,” said Ereno.
“It’s great to be in front, but there’s a lot of golf to be played.”
Now back in Durban as part of the Sunshine Tour and HotelPlanner Tour schedule, the Jonsson Workwear Durban Open has drawn a strong field of South African and international professionals competing on the newly refurbished championship layout.
