Williams shows claws to lead SA charge at Turkish Airlines Open

The 23-year-old enjoyed a strong start with three birdies within his first four holes, and maintained his form throughout the day with three further birdies to finish on six-under-par to tie with co-leaders Italian Martin Couvra and German Tiger Christensen after Thursday’s first round.

Nienaber, who won the NTT DATA Pro-Am at Fancourt while his grandfather was on his death bed back in February, shot a splendid opening-round 68 to finish three-under par on Thursday.

“I think, with the events at home, I was pretty tired,” Nienaber said. “A lot of personal stuff has happened since NTT Data.

“I lost my grandfather one day after.

“So, quite a lot has happened since then.
