David Kamulindwa fired a superb round of five-under 66 to assume a one-shot lead at halfway stage of the MTN Pro-Tee Series at Entebbe Club on Wednesday.
Kamulindwa surged to the top of leaderboard in quest for the biggest share of the Shs15m kitty but his group partner Abbey Bagalana shared a part of the limelight at the par-71 course.
Bagalana, who also made the cut at +5 of the 72-hole championship, carded a beautiful hole-in-one at the par-3 Hole No.12 green, witnessed by Kamulindwa and Tom Jingo.
‘You don’t expect a hole-in-one but as long as you are playing and you do practice, things like that happen,’ said Bagalana, who finished with a round of two-over 73 including three birdies.
Bagalana hit Titleist 2 Black ball into the cup using a Ping S-55 Wedge club. ‘It was the right club and I was in the zone.
My game wasn’t too bad but being that I wasn’t competing, the competitive mood is not there but it is going to come back,’ Bagalana added.
Meanwhile, it is Kamulindwa setting the pace after he struck seven birdies at par-5 Holes No.1, No.11 and No.15, the par-4s No.4, No.9, No.13 and No.14.
His only blemish were two bogeys on the par-3 Holes No.6 and No.16. Following his round of one-over 72 comprising a triple-bogey at the par-4 Hole No.9 on Tuesday, Kamulindwa is at an aggregate four-under.
And he is followed by Vincent Byamukama who maintained second place with a round of 70.
Rodell Gaita is third at one-under overall after shooting 72 while Andrew Ssekibejja and Abraham Ainamani are joint-fourth at level-par overall.
