The 115th Investec South African Open Championship enters its pivotal "Moving Day" at the Stellenbosch Golf Club, with the stakes higher than ever. For the first time, a direct invitation to the Masters at Augusta National awaits the champion, adding an extra layer of tension to an already prestigious tournament. Italy's Francesco Laporta holds a narrow one-stroke lead at 10-under par, but he is pursued by a high-caliber chasing pack.
England’s Nathan Kimsey sits just one shot back, while local favorite and 2023 champion Dean Burmester remains the primary home hope at 8-under par. The technical, tree-lined layout of Stellenbosch has rewarded accuracy over power thus far, and with the breeze expected to pick up during the afternoon, course management will be the deciding factor. As the field is trimmed to the top 65 and ties, those within striking distance of Laporta will need to balance aggression with caution to stay in contention for Sunday's historic final walk.

Result Description
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.
