Danish professional golfer Broch Estrup had a great round of 66 (-7) at the Joburg Ladies Open at the Modderfontein Golf Club. With seven birdies on her scorecard for a round of seven under par and a total of eight under par going into the weekend, the Danish star put up a faultless display.
Broch had previously discussed the stress she felt before playing golf, but her husband Kasper, who serves as her caddy, was able to remind her today of her weekly objectives.
"My putting is feeling good, but in general Kasper was good at reminding me that my big goal is that I want to achieve and not avoid. So, not being afraid of hitting a bad shot but trying to achieve to hit good shots and I did good today on that part."
