The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Entebbe, Uganda | PHILLIP CORRY | Paul Nsereko and Patrick Mugisha Muntu were 2-up winners over the defending pair of Steven Kitamirike and Charles Kabunga in one of the highlights of the Stanbic Bank Match Play Golf Challenge on Saturday at Entebbe Club.
Nsereko and Muntu will, in the next round on May 9th take on Henry Nsubuga and Jonathan Lukyamuzi, last year’s finalists, who were 2 and 1 winners over Nelson Ojwiya and Edward Okech on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Edrae Kagombe and Evelyn Atukunda advanced to Round 3.
The mother and daughter pair advanced to the next stage without swinging their clubs, as their challengers Lillian Koowe and Joyce Kisembo, winners of the 2024 edition, skipped the tournament as they participated in the Uganda Ladies Golf Union-sanctioned Kilembe Mines Golf Ladies Open which was played on the same day.
Kagombe and Atukunda will play Esther Aganyira and Arthur Arinaitwe, in the next round on May 9 at the par 71, Lake Side course.
The Match Play Challenge is sponsored by Stanbic Bank Uganda, Cfao Motors Uganda, Johnnie Walker, national carrier Uganda Airlines and Afrisafe Risk Consultants.
