Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Muthaiga Golf Club\u2019s professional Greg Snow went up by a shot on Day Two of the Safari Tour Season Four, second leg at the long playing and tough par 72 Vet Lab Sports Club course on Monday where 24 players made the eight over par cut.<\/p>\n

Snow, who missed the first leg at Sigona last week because of shoulder injury, shot two under par 70 for a level par 144 having shot two over par 74 in the first round on Sunday. Just like the rest of the players, Snow described the course setting as tough.<\/p>\n

He made an early birdie on the second hole but bogeyed the 380\u2010yard par four which had the most difficult pin position where only a handful of players were able to make par leave alone birdies.<\/p>\n

Snow, however, made a good recovery by firing in three back-to-back birdies from the fifth to seventh to carry to the back nine a two under par score.<\/p>\n

Here, he made one birdie at the 12th, and a single bogey at the 17th with seven pars giving him a level par back nine and a chance to now charge for the top prize of Sh230,000.<\/p>\n

Round One leader Tafara Mpofu from Zimbabwe shot four over par 76 to drop to second place where he tied with compatriot Robson Chinhoi on one over par 145 for the two rounds.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Mpofu had a disastrous first nine where he dropped three shots in a row including the fourth, and only managed to recover one shot just before the turn to the back nine which he started with a bogey and closed it with a double bogey six at the par four\u201018th.<\/p>\n

Chinhoi, on the other hand, made a birdie on the notorious fourth after bogeying second and third, thenbirdied the sixth and seventh, but picked up a five at the par four\u2010seventh. \u201cMy game is good and I am happy with the way I am playing despite the course being long and with very difficult pin positions. I look forward for a better performance in the last two round,\u201d said Chinhoi, who birdied the 14th and 15th but double\u2010bogeyed the 17th hole.<\/p>\n

But Muthaiga\u2019s 20-year-old Mutahi Kibugu left Vet Lab the happiest man after making his first pro cut in his second event after turning pro three weeks ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started badly just like in the first event at Sigona, but I am happy I was able to roll in a number of puts for one over par in the second round which made me make the cut. It\u2019s difficult to adjust to the pro ranks but I am working on my mental concentration to try and focus on my game more,\u201d said Kibugu who promised to play in all the events then travel to Europe to gain more exposure.<\/p>\n

A number of the leading pros, however, failed to go through to the remaining round and will now have to start focusing on the third leg at the magnificent Great Rift Valley Golf Resort in Naivasha next week. Those who missed cut include Samuel Njoroge and Alfred Nandwa of Railway, John Wangai (Sigona), Jastas Madoya (Great Rift Valley) and home player Nelson Simwa as well as Uganda\u2019s Deo Akope, Philip Kasozi and Abbey Bagalana.<\/p>\n
