Hill qualified in ninth place on six-under behind Strokeplay winner Martin Couvra of France and reigning Amateur champion, Aldrich Potgieter, who shot 61 in the second round to tie for first on 13-under.
Hill will face South Africa’s Louis Liebenberg, while Robert Moran, who qualified in 10th place on five-under, takes on India’s Vinamra Anand.
Peter O’Keeffe meets Durbanville’s Travis Procter while US Mid-Amateur champion Matt McClean faces Centurion Country Club’s Charl Barnard.
