Max Homa Leads Nedbank Golf Challenge by One Stroke

Despite a shaky start to the third round, Homa maintains lead; seeks first victory on European circuit

Max Homa, the eighth-ranked golfer, holds a one-stroke lead going into the final round of the Nedbank Golf Challenge, despite a shaky start to the third round where he bogeyed the par-3 fourth hole.
Homa recovered from his early mistake by making two birdies and an eagle on the par-5 10th hole at the Gary Player Country Club, finishing the third round with a 3-under 69.
French golfer Matthieu Pavon, who started the day sharing the lead with Homa, is now one shot behind after scoring a 70 in the third round.
Danish pair Nicolai Hojgaard and Thorbjorn Olesen are two shots behind Homa, while defending champion Tommy Fleetwood is six shots adrift in a share of eighth place.
Homa, who has six titles on the PGA Tour, is seeking his first victory on the European circuit. He has been consistent in hitting fairways and has shown solid form with the putter.
