Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Pre-tournament favourite Peace Kabasweka assumed an opening three-shot of the Entebbe Ladies Open after shooting a round of three-over 74 Thursday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The scratch player laboured to the finish with four bogeys on the back nine but still leads the field with a grand bid to add to her 2022 title.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was good. I was swinging and putting well,\u201d said Kabasweka. The reigning Uganda Ladies Open champion produced two birdies on the day, on the greens of par-3 Hole No.6 and par-5 Hole No.18.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course is in very good condition,\u201d said. But, she wasn\u2019t tidy at the finish after collecting bogeys on Holes par-4 No.3, par-5 No.10, par-3 No.12, par-5 No.15 and par-3 No.16.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the par-3s, I just three putted and Hole No.15, I missed the green on my approach shot which went into the bunker and, on for four then two putts. I plan to play in regulation on the next two days,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Kabasweka is followed by Melon Kyomugisha who carded 77 while Judith Komugisha is third on 81 gross but there are 36 holes to play until the end of the championship Saturday.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s amateur show, it is the Entebbe-bred 20-year-old Elton Thembo who returned one-under 70 comprising five birdies on Holes par-5 No.1, No.10, par-4 No.11, No.15 and No.16 for a one-shot lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t bad. It was okay,\u201d said the youngster who completed Senior Six at Seeta High School in December. \u201cI feel very happy because it is my first time leading a very big competition. I want to stick to my routine,\u201d said the national team rookie.<\/p>\n

Thembo, who is chased by Cosmas Ociti and former Uganda Open champion Joseph Cwinyaai, posted bogeys on Holes par-5s No.4 and No.7, No.12 and par-4 No.17.<\/p>\n
