From the papers

The Associated Press (via theScore)

I thought I'd lost it on the front nine. I had so many chances and didn't take them.

City of Johannesburg newsroom

That chip on 18 – I'm not known for my short game, so I was really pleased with that one. I was literally shaking over it.

Dan Bradbury, quoted in City of Johannesburg newsroom, 8 March 2026. The report

City of Johannesburg newsroom

The three birdies in a row at holes nine, 10 and 11 were probably the turning point for me and got me back in the tournament.
