Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Willy Deus Kitata is hoping he can play better to enhance Uganda\u2019s presence a little more on Day Three of the Nyali Golf & Country Club leg of the Safari Tour Series in Kenya today.Kitata carded a round of one-over 72 for an aggregate score of 150 to tie in 13th place after two rounds at the par-71 course in Mombasa yesterday.<\/p>\n

He and Deo Akope are the only Ugandans who made the cut at the halfway stage of the competition with Richard Baguma, Abbey Bagalana and Phillip Kasozi missing out.\u201cIt was not the best today,\u201d Kitata told Daily Monitor via phone yesterday. \u201cMy short game was off,\u201d the US-based player said.<\/p>\n

He carded three birdies on Holes No.1, No.11 and No.14 but collected a quartet of bogeys on Holes No.2, No.4, No.8 and No.13.Kitata plans to rise up on the leaderboard today. \u201cI\u2019m going for everything, no laying up white or black, no in between,\u201d he promised. He will tee-off at 9:30am in company of Kopan Timbe and Jacob Okello.<\/p>\n

It is rather fair to laud Kitata for his show thus far having failed to make the Day One grade at December\u2019s Uganda Professionals Golf Open at Uganda Golf Club in Kitante.Akope who came second at the Uganda Open, is tied with Hebson Kutwa, Samuel Njoroge and Edwin Inana on an aggregate score of 11-over 153 and, he hopes to rise too to increase his share of the $10000 (Shs36.5m) kitty.<\/p>\n
