Julien Guerrier Leads Nedbank Golf Challenge

Julien Guerrier holds a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Nedbank Golf Challenge after shooting a 68 in challenging conditions at Gary Player Country Club. The Frenchman, who recently secured his first DP World Tour title, carded eight birdies and four bogeys, demonstrating resilience despite the tough weather. Defending champion Max Homa, who led initially, fell behind after consecutive double bogeys on the 16th and 17th holes, finishing two strokes off the lead. Guerrier's closest competitors are fellow Frenchman Romain Langasque and local favorite Ockie Strydom, who are tied one stroke back. Guerrier expressed satisfaction with his performance, acknowledging the difficulty of maintaining patience under such conditions. This tournament marks a significant moment for Guerrier as he aims for continued success following his recent victory in Andalucía.
