Ross Fisher called on his experience of playing at Sun City in 2009 and 2010 and backed his driver as he shot a brilliant six-under-par 66 and claimed the first-round lead at the Nedbank Golf Challenge on Thursday.
The Englishman, a poster-boy for elegant golf, cruised around the Gary Player Country Club course with seven birdies and just one dropped shot – a four on the par-three 16th.
That bogey came after what he called his “one loose shot”, a tee-shot that went way left of the hole and then perched with a thick tuft of grass behind the ball.
Fisher enjoyed a two-stroke lead over a trio of Nedbank Golf Challenge debutants – South African George Coetzee, Germany’s Marcel Siem and Frenchman Alexander Levy – who all shot four-under-par 68s.
