On Wednesday, Zimbabwean professional golfer Robson Chinhoi took an early lead in the Entebbe Open, the fourth leg of the Safari Tour golf series, with a seven-under-par 64 at the Entebbe Golf Club's par 71 course.
Chinhoi's impressive round included five birdies at the front nine, with a clean five-under-par 30. He dropped only one shot at the 12th hole after picking up a birdie at the par-five 11th.
At the back nine, Chinhoi completed the round with two more birdies at the 15th and 18th for a two-under-par back nine.
He finished two clear shots ahead of Kenya's Kopan Timbe and Uganda's Silver Opio, both on five-under-par 66.
Timbe birdied the sixth, seventh, 11th, and 15th holes, but dropped a shot at the 12th. He tied with Opio in second place after an eagle three at the par-five 18th.
Opio bogeyed three holes but managed to roll in a total of eight birdies, while another Kenyan, Ken Bollo, finished on 69, a shot better than Justus Madoya and Uganda's Herman Mutawe.
On the first day of the tournament, a total of 56 players turned up, with the top 20 and ties proceeding to the second day on Thursday for the Sh1 million prize fund.
