These three golfers ended up T2, all carding a total score of 1-under 141, just one shot behind Germshuys.

Germshuys preserved a flawless round in the final leg, punctuating his performance with a critical birdie on No. 11, thus securing his second Eastern Province title since 2018.
Merwe, on the other hand, had the standout score of the day, carding a remarkable 6-under 65, highlighted by an eagle on the par-5 No. 4, as well as five additional birdies and a lone bogey on the par-4 No. 6.
This stretch elevated Merwe to a joint runner-up finish, following a challenging 5-over 76 in the first round.
The tournament featured 67 top amateur golfers from across South Africa but had to be shortened to 36 holes due to unfavorable weather conditions.
