Thimba Jnr chases SA Open glory
South African believes the trophy is within his reach and is aware of the stir this would cause.
At the end of 2019, Toto Thimba Jnr was clear on the biggest goal he had for 2020.
“I want to win the SA Open,” he declared.
The South African took a big step towards achieving this goal as he came through Thursday’s first round of the SA Open just two shots off the lead.
Thimba Jnr opened with a seven-under-par 64 on Randpark’s Bushwillow course, putting him well within reach of leader Johannes Veerman of the US who signed for a sublime nine-under 62 on Bushwillow.
Veerman is one stroke clear of the field, with Italian Nino Bertasio and SA’s JC Ritchie his nearest challengers.
Branden Grace came through day one with a 64 on the Firethorn course, which was the day’s best on this layout.
