Christiaan Burke: recent form

In the opening round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Royal Johannesburg on Thursday, both Eugenio Chacarra and Christiaan Burke recorded a record nine-under-par 63. In regulation, the 25-year-old Chacarra struck every green. On the fifteenth hole, he made eight birdies, one eagle, and just one bogey from a three-putt. He set a new course record with his performance. In a fast-paced round, Burke made three bogeys but matched him with ten birdies and an eagle. They were ahead of Brandon Stone and Thriston Lawrence of South Africa by a single shot. Burke was joined at the top by Albert Venter, who achieved a perfect 64. With no bogeys in his round, Venter is one stroke ahead of Casey Jarvis, who scored 69 and is attempting to win for the second time in three weeks. Venter wants to win on the Sunshine Tour three times. Burke has yet to find his first.

At the Vodacom Origins of Golf Final on Saturday, Burke battled a tough front nine and strong winds but stayed near the top of the leaderboard. Despite being two over par at the turn, he bounced back with five under on the back nine for a 69. This put him at 18 under par.

Daniel Van Tonder: Form and Statistics

On the first tee of the Sunshine Tour's Fortress Invitational at Glendower Golf Club, Daniel van Tonder received a bee sting. He achieved a 69 in the second round and birdied the first hole despite the agony. With that, he and Christiaan Burke, who shot a 67, were tied for the lead. They are each one shot ahead at nine under par. Additionally, Van Tonder was the first South African to be confirmed for the Nedbank Golf Challenge, which will take place at Sun City from December 4–7. After placing 29th in his 2014 debut, this will be his second appearance at "Africa's Major." He makes a comeback to the Gary Player Country Club, the site of his 2021 South African Open victory. Winning the Sunshine Tour's Courier Guy Order of Merit the previous season guaranteed him a place at the Nedbank. It was the high point of an incredible year in which he won four tournaments, including twice on the HotelPlanner Tour, and was granted a DP World Tour card for the following season. Since Branden Grace in 2017, Van Tonder hopes to become the first South African to win the Nedbank Golf Challenge.

JC Ritchie`s Recent form

On Sunday, JC Ritchie won the Italian Challenge on the Hotelplanner Tour, his third victory of the year. He was granted DP World Tour credentials for 2026 as a result of the victory. Ritchie and Robin Petersson of Sweden were tied for first place at the beginning of the final round. He made seven birdies on the first seven holes of a fast-paced front nine. Two bogeys negated Petersson's early birdies, giving Ritchie a significant lead. Ritchie ended the tournament at 20-under despite making a triple bogey on 18 and finishing with a final round score of four under par. With 1,518.18 points, he has surpassed Scotland's David Law to take the top spot in the Road to Mallorca rankings. Petersson ended with a two-under-par round, finishing at 18-under, and aiming for his maiden victory. With two holes remaining at Golf Nazionale, Ritchie was four strokes clear, ensuring his third victory of the year and a position on the DP World Tour.
