**Sullivan Soars to First-Round Lead at the Alfred Dunhill Championship!**
Sullivan seizes Alfred Dunhill first-round lead
In a dramatic turn of events, Malibongwe Makepula’s late withdrawal from the Alfred Dunhill Championship due to a back injury has paved the way for Hennie du Plessis and James Kingston to assert their dominance at the top of the leaderboard, with impressive rounds of 67 and 68 respectively.
Hot on their heels is South Africa’s Brandon Stone, who wrapped up his round of 68 in style, finishing strong with back-to-back birdies.
Former champion Richard Sterne is just two shots behind Du Plessis after an exciting round of 69 that included a spectacular eagle on the par-five 18th hole.
Meanwhile, overnight leader Daniel van Tonder faced challenges today, slipping down the leaderboard after carding a round of 73. Rasmus Højgaard also encountered difficulties, finishing with a score of 74
