It almost feels like Eurovision. An Italian, a German, a Spanish and a Swedish share the provisional lead of the Investec South African Open, co-sanctioned by the Sunshine Ladies Tour and the Ladies European Tour. "It was my first LET tournament in a year and a half and I was nervous, confessed Nicole Garcia, who missed all of last season with hip surgery. But I knew my driving was fine and that I could achieve a good score. "

Same satisfaction for the Swedish Emma Nilsson, winner of LETAS in 2018 and who loves to play on the difficult course of Westlake: “I really like playing this tournament, it's not far from Cape Town, where you can see the penguins. I wanted jusget you as many birdies as possible and I got four, which is great. " Four birdies, it is nevertheless one less than Agathe Sauzon, who managed five today… but also five bogeys. The Drômoise is in the par, just 3 shots from the leaders, along with her compatriots Camille Chevalier, Isabelle Boineau and Manon Gidali.
