Joburg Open leader Nikhil Rama ranked #1214, Cockerill makes cut...full scoreboard

 DP World Tour : Joburg Open Leaderboard

He's ranked #1214 in the world but South African Nikhil Rama has shot a bogey free 62 on Friday to take a one shot lead into the weekend

Nikhil Rama hits the front in Johannesburg

 

Here courtesy of a recent 4th place finish on the Sunshine Tour he has made only 2 cuts in 10 DP World Tour starts he is at -13

Round 1 leader Thurston Lawrence is 62, 66 -12.

Dean Burmester matched Rama's 62 to sit at -10 alongside Jacques Kruyswijk, one clear of Zander Lombard as South Africans took every spot in the top seven.

Rama will now go out alongside four-time DP World Tour winner Lawrence in the final group on Saturday but the 22-year-old insists he is enjoying the pressure of what could be a life-changing week.

"What can I say, it was a great round," he said. "It's my lowest score on tour so far so I'm really excited about that.

Jaco Prinsloo recovered from bogeys on the second and third to post six birdies in a 66 that left him at eight under, one clear of Darren Fichardt, who made four birdies before bogeying the last in a 67.

There was then a group of nine players at five under including defending champion Dan Bradbury.

EDIT >>> Canada's Aaron Cockerill  69 70 -1 has made the cut which fell at E.  After an up and down round with 5 birdies, 4 bogey's and a double he will be out early on Saturday at 8.01 local with South African Jacques de Villiers hoping to clean up his card.
