A South African embrace: Grace goes toe to toe with ‘Braaison’, Burmy dons new Bafana drip

Bryson DeChambeau leads by two shots after a six-under 65, with Jon Rahm and Dean Burmester tied closely behind amid large enthusiastic crowds, organizers expect over 100,000 fans.

  • On Friday, Bryson DeChambeau seized a two-stroke lead at LIV Golf South Africa after firing a six-under 65 at Steyn City, including a spectacular eagle chip-in on the first hole that positioned him at 14 under par overall.
  • DeChambeau attributed his recent form to analyzing his 2023 performance, stating, "I feel like I'm getting closer to when I shot 58 at Greenbrier," while collaborating with Dahlquist and Sportsbox to replicate that historic swing.
  • Jon Rahm leads the chasing pack at 11 under after carding a 66, while Branden Grace and Spaniard David Puig sit two shots behind DeChambeau on 12 under.
  • South African Dean Burmester delighted the Steyn City crowd during "Football Friday" by wearing a national soccer jersey and interacting with spectators while shooting a bogey-free 64.
  • Anticipation builds for the final rounds, with total attendance expected to top 100,000 by the weekend, though DeChambeau joked, "I probably will lose my hearing," if he battles local favorites on Sunday.
