Upsets on day one of SA Matchplay Championships


It was a day of upsets on day one of the 2-million rand ISPS Handa SA  Match Play Championship at the Zwartkop Country Club yesterday.

For upsets on a day, which the top 16 seeds - including PE's Lyle Rowe sat out, one didn’t need to look further than the 2&1 defeat of the 17th ranked Desvonde Botes by Nathan Waghorn, ranked 112.
 
110th-placed Adrian Ford toppled 19th-ranked Jean Hugo 1-up there were good wins for three Eastern Cape golfers, James Kamte beating Zimbabwe's TC Charamba on the 19th hole, Jake Redman beating Graham van der Merwe 5 and 4 and Titch Moore beating Ryan Thomson 2 and 1.
Titch will be up against European Tour player Alex Haindl in the round of 48 today.
