Joburg open leader seeks third career victory
If the Joburg Open is over now, Shaun Norris will be the winner. This will be the third victory for the DP World Tour of the South African golfer. He has two more rounds to achieve this.
His most recent win was at the Alfred Dunhill Golf Championship. It requires an impressive comeback. Norris stepped back for the final round but got a one-step victory after hitting 67.
After winning, Norris was “very happy” and reflected on ESPN:
“I’m so happy to do this. [at the Golf Nippon Series JT Cup] And then won this week, which is a blessing. ” ESPN quoted Norris.
