Pieter Moolman (64) and Simon du Plooy (65) set the initial clubhouse lead on 17-under par, after closing with respective back-to-back birdies over the closing two holes.
An eagle on the 17th followed by birdie on the 18th however gave Simpson (66) the lead on 18-under par, with a tense wait in the clubhouse that ensued.
