THE trio of Romano Saincic, LB Boshoff and amateur Luke Truter are tied for first place following the conclusion of the second round of the Blu Label Unlimited Series 3 at Modderfontein Golf Club in South Africa.

The three golfers are tied on six-under-par 138 and hold a three-shot advantage over fourth-placed amateur Minjun Heo.

Having started the day in third place, four shots behind overnight leader Truter, Saincic carded a three-under-par 69 after also opening with a 69. Saincic’s 69 comprised an eagle, three birdies and two bogeys. He made a bogey at the second hole before eagling the eighth for an outward 35. On his back nine, he made a run of three consecutive birdies at holes 11, 12 and 13 before dropping a shot at the 16th for an inward 34. Boshoff, who opened with a 70 on Monday, carded a 68 on moving day, dropping just a single shot. On the front nine, Boshoff made a birdie at the first hole before dropping a shot at the seventh and recovering with another birdie at the eighth for an outward 35. He then had a flawless back nine, with a birdie at the 12th and an eagle at the 13th for an inward 33. Truter, on the other hand, went into the second round with a three-shot lead at the top of the leaderboard after opening with a 65. He then carded a 73 on Tuesday. On his front nine, Truter made three birdies at the first, fourth and ninth holes, while also recording a bogey at the sixth and a double bogey at the third for an outward 36. After the turn, he made a birdie at the 10th, followed by a bogey at the 11th and two more birdies at the 12th and 13th. He, however, made a double bogey at the 15th and another bogey at the 16th for an inward 37.

Fourth-placed Heo, on three-under-par 141, has rounds of 70 and 71.
