Thriston Lawrence hopes to make a double at the Joburg Open
Joburg Open holds a special place for Thriston Lawrence after the South African golfer secured his first-ever DP World Tour win there. In 2021, he won the tournament with a score of par under -12. This time around, Lawrence is leading the pack with a score of -14 at the 2023 Joburg Open.
Following round three, Lawrence is hoping to make a double at the Houghton GC and get his hands on the winner's share of $190,000 from the total prize money of $1.1 million.
Although he is looking at a comfortable 2-stroke lead, second-placed Jacques Kruyswijk will hope to give him a tough time as the final day of action remains. If Lawrence can maintain his composure, he can surely acquire the 5th European Tour win of his career.
