AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Round two of the ninth and final Safari Tour tournament at Karen Country Club was briefly suspended on Monday due to heavy rain.<\/p>\n

This was after the course was rendered unplayable by rains that pounded areas surrounding the Karen course, venue of the event.<\/p>\n

After resumption of play, overnight leader Nigerian Andrew Odoh, who had started his round from the back nine, was one-under to take his lead to six-under in addition to his day score of -5 66.<\/p>\n

Wet course condition were bound to present difficulties to the big field seeking to make a cut into the final two rounds as well as sneak into the money bracket.<\/p>\n

Most of the bunkers were waterlogged as-well-as greens, which were waterlogged after the storm with most of those who started the second round earlier, almost done with their rounds of 18.<\/p>\n

The skies opened up some minutes to 2pm, as speeds on the greens, which were playing fast to speeds of six, were expected to slow down to about 10.<\/p>\n

Most of the game dynamics were highly affected after resumption of play.<\/p>\n

Save for a few sloppy greens that drained immediately, the most affected ones were: green number three, 12, 13 and 18 but drained almost immediately after the rains subsided.<\/p>\n

The trio of David Wakhu, Erick Ooko and Hesbon Kubwa finished their round being the first flight that set off at 11am on the front nine.<\/p>\n

Ooko shot level-par after round two with Wakhu finishing with one-over after their second day outing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was so much rain. Nobody expected it but we are glad we made it though the course was playing difficult today,” said Ooko<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
