Sterne sets early pace in Joburg

An eight-under-par round of 63 helped the in-form Richard Sterne set the early pace on the opening morning of the Joburg Open.

The 31-year-old, a runner-up in Dubai last weekend, was one of the first out on course in his home tournament and made sure he set the tone from the off, with birdies on the first three holes on the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Course.
