Final results
Saturday at Stellenbosch belonged to Casey Jarvis, who carded a brilliant 6-under par 64 to claim the solo lead at 11-under par. Jarvis was clinical throughout the third round, navigating the undulating greens with precision to displace the overnight leaders. He heads into Sunday with a narrow one-shot cushion over Hennie du Plessis and Italy's Francesco Laporta, both of whom remain firmly in the hunt at 10-under par. The day saw several significant moves further down the leaderboard. Calum Hill surged into fourth place following a 65, while the young Kieron van Wyk delighted the local crowds with a 64 of his own to sit just four strokes back. Meanwhile, some of the pre-tournament favorites struggled to find their rhythm; Dean Burmester and Nathan Kimsey both carded 72s, losing ground on a day where low scores were plentiful. With the top 15 players separated by just six shots, the final round promises a dramatic finish as the field battles for the title and that coveted Masters invitation.
