Day three digest: 2022 Steyn City Championship

Everything you need to know from day three in Johannesburg.

The Club at Steyn City

Shaun surged further ahead, Burmy was making putters redundant, Michael was making a new start and the Drysdales were marking a big day on Saturday at the 2022 Steyn City Championship.

Here is everything you need to know from Moving Day in South Africa.

Norris maintains momentum

Shaun Norris remained on track for a maiden DP World Tour victory as a third-round 67 handed him a four-shot lead. The South African had entered the weekend with a three-shot advantage after a blistering 64-62 start and while he could not quite maintain that pace, he moved to 23 under with just one bogey all week. He welcomed his second child - a daughter named Riley-Grace - into the world two weeks ago and revealed that if het got over the line, he would be dedicating worldwide win number ten to her. "This would be a special one," he said. "With baby girl getting born a couple of weeks ago this one's for her so it would be nice."

He's at it again.......

Yesterday it was from the sand, today from the grass - Dean Burmester is a hole-out machine. This after he duffed his first one as well.

Go Ball!

It did. Sensational putt from our leader.

Hoey lays down the law

Five-time DP World Tour winner Michael Hoey decided to call time on his playing career at the end of last season, making the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship - which he won in 2011 - his final event. He has now started a new life as a rules official and is stalking the fairways with a walkie-talkie and a rules book this week.

Happy birthday Double D

David Drysdale was forced to pull out after five holes of his opening round with a hip injury this week. Not the best birthday present as he turned 47 on Saturday but hopefully there'll be enough cake to make up for it. Happy birthday David from all of us on Tour - but mainly from wife, manager, caddie and all-round superwoman Vicky.
