With him the Spaniard Manuel Elvira (n. 4), the Zimbabwean Benjamin Follett-Smith, the South African Brandon Stone (n. 9) and the aforementioned Pavan (n. 10) who last week’s rest session cost him a step back in the rankings.Among the favorites the Portuguese Ricardo Gouveia and the English Jamie Rutherford and Will Enefer and the group of South Africans almost always compact on the starting tee.
In addition to Stone there will be the others who compete to have the ‘card’ for the DP World Tour 2024 at the end of the season which will go to the top 20 on the money list: JJ Senekal (n. 11), Jaco Prinsloo (n. 12) and Dylan Mostert, who after winning one race (Nelson Mandela Bay Championship) has increasingly lost his condition, going down from the top of the standings to 20th place.Matteo Manassero (two wins) and Lorenzo Scalise (one title) will be missing among the Azzurri, who allowed himself a second consecutive rest.
