Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT |Β Ibrahim Bagalana bounced back into contention at the Johnnie Walker Uganda Golf Open Championship on Friday, after overall leader Godfrey Nsubuga could only manage a par for the course in the penultimate round.
Nsubuga now has his lead cut to just 3 from 6 strokes, setting up a tantalising final round Saturday, where any of the pressure group members can still pull it off.
Bagalana was on fire, sinking birdies on holes 6,8,13 and 16. He had equal rounds of 2 under par over two rounds to return to the club house with a 3 under par score of 69 .
Nsubuga on his part had birdies on 3,5,8 and 13 with an overall score of 206.
“I missed a number of putts on the course, but am happy to have played even today. I know what I can revise to play a better round tomorrow,” Nsubuga said.
Joseph Cwinyaai, Uganda Open winner inΒ 2021, carded the day’s best score, 4 under par 68 to stay within striking distance of the title as he mounted pressure on the top guns
Last year’s runner up Michael Tumusiime is 3 over par 75, 219.
