Round 2 Highlights 2026 Joburg Open

Brandon Robinson Thompson BRT as he's known nine under par. He's leading the tournament by a shot at the moment his approach into the 13th How's about that an eagle to Robinson Thompson springs to 11 under par and opens up a three shot gap No need to take the putter out of the bag. Yeah, I just feel sorry for the caddies He's got to carry 14 clubs all the way up the hole Normally you get rid of one halfway up the hole with the putter But anyway, i'm sure he'll forgive him Beautiful Should be quite a slippery one dale Robin williams at the par three downhill, but there's a lot of moisture on these greens and that's beautifully hold You don't see a lot of players still leaving the flag in. Yeah, just about to say that Good back nicely done there for robin williams Oh Now that's how you do it to the front he hasn't given up on the idea of making this cut Jarvis Did well To get it to here and he had a nice break Oh, well, you see that's that's how you we'll add that to the real tony. That's it Add that to the real your spot on woolly. That's how you make use of a good break Well, he's coming up a couple of feet, isn't he? So you have to pitch it perfectly. There's wind involved You and ferguson cruising along with three under It's one of those guys. You sort of always expect him to just light the fuse and start Having a run of birdies. That might be one of them right there Always always loved his golf swing Now roberta The short par for first hole You really want to be walking off this hole with a birdie and that he's got a very very good chance of doing just that Oh There right there. Will that be the start of a miraculous little run beautiful shot It's an important up and down dale And he's j he's judged it. Well now crocker from the Long range back of the green of number 16 the long par three and what a fantastic putt He thought he'd made it terrific putt Jarvis final hole How brave will he be? Don't get too brave Well, I don't really think he knows how to do the keep going. Keep going, baby. Keep going. He doesn't do the back What a shot Oh fantastic shot by shape at the first hole This is a classy act this guy. He can seriously play golf Now bilco this is a tricky little chip slight down slope doesn't have very little green to work with oh Beautiful shot. I know he stopped that from coming out the rough now thompson at the 17th hole par four up the hill He's hit a beautiful second shot and he's converted So he gets to 12 under par And right in the back of the cup beautifully hold And a timely birdie to finish sean crocker's round moves him safely into second place 65 shots wonderful friday for the american Oh Joe dean, I believe he's going to chip this I believe he's going to do quite well repair job on the padded surface there just Pretty clean to me that look mightily impressive Now on the downslope shaper Yes, he looks determined today. Wow, what a golf shot that is Sometimes can't see the bottom of the flag Sitting today at the foot nine on and six from the right and that is a beauty that could go in I'll keep going So a good second shot and I left And he gets to four under beautiful birdie at the sixth hole All it takes are three good shots. Absolutely back-to-back birdies He's gone straight out this Brilliant shot once more Similar to the third where he almost lifted Oh my That's a really good shot from where he was with so little green to work with Pat yourself on the back Move back to the fifth And he's andy sullivan That is the way to have a turnaround Instantly back to three over Oh That's a boost shot in the arm Conradi now just getting over the water on the par three ninth It's quite fortunate. It didn't roll all the way back Is that a wingate golf club in pretoria? Beautiful wow One of yours tony Definitely helped by being on the upslope, but I wouldn't say this was easy Beautifully done One over par Do with a little hot streak. Oh, come on Come on Oh, yes, please gorgeous golf shot Oh, i'll give him that Crazy fake giving it the low stab and draining it. Yes that makes up for it a poor second shot Well done Just about to say he's chip and run that with an a time But that looks like at least a wedge doesn't it look how low it comes out off the upslope For his two and a quick comeback It's a mixed bag spin off it sadly The horns are going there's five-time dp world tournament winner. Michael hoey And sadly, they're going to have to pull the players. It will be a suspension of play due to lightning in the area And we will be bringing one everyone in Let's have a little look through the leaderboard brandon robertson thompson as we all know 62 8 under the day 12 under leads by three Nathan kimsey first reserve yesterday going along beautifully had to run to the first tee Brandon the second round 62. How much fun was that? A lot of fun. Actually i've been up since quarter to four this morning Honestly didn't think we were even going to get 18 holes in today. Um with the weather forecast but We did and yeah, I had a lot of fun out there A whole lot eagle at the 13th par four. Can you talk us through that? first one on tour so get in um yeah, it was uh I've got adjusted all the numbers, but it was about a hundred yard shot for me Um, and the pin was set up perfectly really just a little draw spin Pass the hole spin it back and it just like I said, I hadn't hold out until yet. Um until today So it felt really cool. Yeah, very cool feeling holding out The weather conditions obviously The course took a lot of rain overnight, but the wind was really tricky out there today. How much of a factor was it? Yeah a lot. Um a couple of times i just walking up a fairway and i just speak to my caddy rich I'm like, you know, it's really blowing today, you know, um a couple of times I'm trying to hit certain shapes into certain holes and You know a big draw and I left right winds barely barely drawing, you know, it's you know, just holding it. So um the wind played a huge factor today just making holes like uh number nine number 16 the par 3s with the water and just you're up high and you're there's a lot of elevation so um Playing havoc with us out there If you could pinpoint one area of the game that kind of pleased you most which which might that be? um I was I was holding everything until you guys showed up. Um, actually Uh, no, i've been putting really nicely my speaking trial on the greens has been really really good for the last couple of days um Well, I even made I made it three three birds this morning coming back to finish my first round so i've kind of had My eye in I guess you would say on the greens a little bit but also Just been able to shape shots both ways against the strong wind today. Um off the tee and into the green uh really sort of Made a difference I think Given the round you've just put in how much you're looking forward to the weekend Well, i'm looking forward to the weekend a lot because it'll be my first in about six attempts Um, but look i've been up in the mix before and you know, I love that feeling I love competing um, you know who doesn't want to be at the top of the leaderboard so I can guarantee you i'll have a good time Fantastic, thank you for your time. No worries. Appreciate it. Cheers
