Overview:
Each day of a golf championship world-over comes with its own dynamics, demands, expectations and dimensions
2022 Tusker Malt Uganda Amateurs Golf Open:
Round 1: Wednesday, 19th October (Completed)
Round 2: Thursday, 20th October
Round 3: Friday, 21st October
Round 4: Saturday, 22nd October
*Venue: Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa, Kigo
It is the second day of the 82nd edition of the Tusker Malt Uganda Golf Amateurs Open at the par-72 Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa course on Thursday, October 20.
The field of over 90 participants will play another grueling 18 holes to complete 36, half of the total 72 holes that will shall have been played by the final round on Saturday, 22nd October.
It is still too early to predict the champion of 2022 as mouth-watering golf awaits the golfers in all the four rounds.
Each day of a golf championship world-over comes with its own dynamics, demands, expectations and dimensions.
The pressure keeps mounting by each passing round as the golfers look forward to better their different scores from the previous rounds.
The course conditions are also expected to vary. Day one was sunny, not windy with relatively fast greens.
The greens were cut last night and therefore expected to be a little bit faster than on day one.
Weather remains unpredictable as good health, sickness or death.
Definitely, as the norm has been since the ladies open, the pin-positions will be altered and this automatically calls for varying approach shots from the day one display.
Day one leader Andrew Ssekibejja is unfazed about the boiling pressure.
“I am not bothered by the pressure of leading. This is my home course and I need to just maintain my A-game until the final round on Saturday” Ssekibejja notes.
Day one had a rare hole-in-one shot from the long driving John Paul Basabose on the par 3 hole 15.
Can Basabose or anybody else replicate the form of day.
This is surely a wild guess. Enjoy the fantastic round of golf.
