Norris opens up four-shot lead at Joburg Open
March 8 (Reuters) - South Africa's Shaun Norris carded a 67 to take a four-shot lead on 14 under-par at the end of Saturday's third round in the DP World Tour's Joburg Open on a difficult day of scoring at the Houghton Golf Club. Norris carded a 63 on Friday despite being troubled by an ear infection and held a one-shot advantage going into the weekend. He has extended that lead despite a double-bogey on the par-four third hole and another dropped shot on the 15th. France's Adrien Saddier (70) and South African Jacques Krusywijk (68) share second place at 10 under-par, with the German Nicolai von Dellingshausen (69) a further stroke back. Norris, 42, won the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek in December, his second victory on the DP World Tour after the Steyn City Championship in 2022.

The 17-year-old from South Africa won the 2025 Africa Amateur Championship at Leopard Creek in his home country, punching his ticket for the final men's major championship of the year. Newman began the day with a five-shot lead and saw that shrink through the afternoon, but he was clutch down the stretch and finished at 8-under 280 for the week to win by two shots over Zimbabwe's 'It feels really amazing. It's so special. To do it here at Leopard Creek makes it even more special," Newman said. 'I definitely felt nervous down the last but I was just trying to make a lot of pars out there, which I did. I made a couple of mistakes down the stretch but luckily I had enough of a cushion." With the win, Newman earned spots in the field at Royal Portrush, the Amateur Championship, the Alfred Dunhill Championship, the Investec South African Open and the Waterfall City Tournament of Champions. It will be the first start in a major for Newman. 'Yeah, it's really exciting," he said. "I can't wait, and I'm really looking forward to it."
