Scott Jamieson was delighted to birdie his last hole and be assured of playing all four rounds for a first occasion on the new 2026 DP World Tour season schedule in far off Mauritius.
Jamieson’s closing hole effort handed the Scot a level par 72 to remain at five-under and just outside the top-10 as the afternoon half of the draw in the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open took to the host Le Heritage La Réserve Golf Links at Heritage Bel Ombre on the southern tip of the stunning Indian Ocean isle.
Jamieson had ended a bruising windy and sometimes wet opening round sharing the clubhouse lead at five-under when poor light halted play leaving a few dozen players still to finish their round.
WELL DONE @scottjamieson54 …
The happy to have birdied the last to remain in contention post 2 rounds #AfrAsiaBankMauritiusOpen

Day two dawned bright, presenting postcard-like conditions and far more managable than a day earlier and with Jamieson and South African Casey Jarvis soon confirmed as the official opening round leaders on five-under.
Jarvis jumped into the second round in blistering manner picking-up nine birdies in a seven-under 65 and forge his way to a three shot clubhouse lead at 12-under.
In contrast, Jamieson bogeyed the first ahead of brilliantly hightlighting his round holing his third shot for an eagle ‘3’ at the par-5 fifth hole but only the give back the two shots back in posting a double at the next.
He picked-up at first birdie of his round at the 12th but bogeyed 16 before the delight of heading to lunch with a birdie on 18.
“Tee to green, today was pretty similar to yesterday but I just didn’t score that well today compared to yesterday though saying that, I just wasn’t able to carry any momentum from one hole to the next,” said Jamieson who had missed the cut at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in Joburg.
“So maybe a little disappointing but then I birdied the last to chalk up a level and that’s good.
“The course is a different challenge to last week as there is so much space out there but if you miss the space then you’re in big trouble.
“Saying that, I like it as it does reward good ball striking tee-to-green because you are presented with a lot of opportunities out there.
“So, it’s a good start over these first rounds and looking forward very much to the weekend”.
Fellow Scot Cameron Adam signed for a second par 72 to be just inside the top-50 at level par.
Euan Walker was in the later stages of his second round though struggling to make the Mauritius halfway cut.
