Four Share first round lead.

Toto Thimba and David Hewan (69) lead a quality field in the Norther Open after the first round.

With 19 players breaking par around the testing Modderfontein lay out. The Guateng North duo of Michael van der Venter and George Coetzee share the lead with the two current SA players giong into round 2. Charl Coetzee, looking to make amends for his dissapointing SA Amateur is lurking just two shots back on 69.
