Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Ugandan Ronald Rugumayo had his lead at the 18th Johnnie Walker Uganda Professionals Golf Open halved to a shot despite him shooting three-under 69 on Day Two at the par-72 Uganda Golf Club (UGC) on Thursday.<\/b><\/p>\n

Rugumayo insists he is not about to change his game plan despite the rest of pack led by Rwanda\u2019s Celestin Nsanzuwera closing in on him at half-way stage of the 72-hole championship that has a Shs100m kitty. He was nonetheless still happy to be in lead with an aggregate eight-under after 36 holes. \u201cI am still okay with three-under,\u201d he said after scoring five birdies on par-5 Holes No.1, No.3, No.5, No.8 and No.13.<\/p>\n

He was lucky the heavy rain at midday found him waiting to cross Acacia Avenue onto Hole No.1. \u201cI was lucky by the time it started raining, I had finished my first nine,\u201d the Fort Portal-bred player said before explaining his woes.<\/p>\n

He had bogeys on par-4 Holes No.7 and No.18. \u201cI putted well but I missed a few greens. I think I did everything right but at two holes, I swung badly. I three-putted on No.18 then on No.7, it was a good bogey because the tee-shot was bad, I also chipped badly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Personal goals<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI am not playing against anyone. I am against the course and my targets I have set for this event,\u201d he added. Rugumayo is closely followed by Nsanzuwera who shot 68 to move to seven-under overall after sinking two birdies on Holes No.5 and No.13 and a second straight eagle on par-5 Hole No.8.<\/p>\n

Rugumayo and Indian Ocean coast-based David Kamulindwa are the two Ugandans chasing glory and hopefully, hoping to end a nine-year wait for a Pro Open champion from Uganda.<\/p>\n

Kamulindwa shot 69 comprising six birdies, five bogeys and an eagle one No.1 to move to six-under in third place. He will form the pressure group with Nsanzuwera and Rugumayo today.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Day Two\u2019s best score came from record five-time Open champion Kenyan Dismas Indiza, who shot five-under 67 consisting of four birdies, an eagle on the 13th green and a bogey on par-4 15th green.<\/p>\n

Indiza is tied fourth on five-under with Namibian Pauline Kasoma and Kenyan Njoroge Kibugu, who is also managed by Peter Mujuni. The cut at +2 left only 34 players, 12 of them Ugandans including Amateur Open champion Godfrey Nsubuga and runner-up Ibrahim Bagalana.<\/p>\n
