Maryam Mwakitawa maintained her position at the top of the leaderboard in the girls 15-18 years at the ongoing Junior Golf Foundation NCBA Invitational at Windsor Golf and Country Club,Nairobi.<\/strong><\/p>\n After playing five over par 79 in round one to top the chats, Mwakitawa played five shots better, an impressive two over par 74, the best score of the day.<\/p>\n She was tied at the top with Audrey Gachora who also shot two over par 74.<\/p>\n In the overall scores, Mwakitawa is leading with a score of nine over par 153.<\/p>\n Audrey Gachora who played eight over par 80 in the first round, moved to the second position with a score of ten over par 154, only one stroke behind Mwakitawa.<\/p>\n Audrey Gachora in action during the tournament at Windsor Golf Club.<\/p>\n \u201cThe course was definitely difficult, greens are running, the lines are quite tight, and I think the only difference in my game on Saturday and Sunday is that I was more cautious with how I was yesterday(Sunday), and I was more present when I was putting. I didn\u2019t let my mind wander off or anything,\u201d explained Mwakitawa.<\/p>\n Audrey Gachora who cut a hungrier and determined figure matched Mwakitawa to end the day with the same scores. She wants to go for the kill in the final round on Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cSaturday was really fun, I enjoyed it even though here and there I didn\u2019t really do well; I had a couple of doubles (bogeys), I was putting well, but in the end I didn\u2019t mind my scores, it wasn\u2019t good, it wasn\u2019t bad. Today(Sunday) I fought really hard, it came out really good in my opinion and it was a good two days,\u201d elaborated Gachora.<\/p>\n\n Shashwat Harish remains the man to beat in the boys 13-14 years category as he once again shot two under par 70 for the second round. The score has perched him at the top of the standing, leading with a score of four under par 140 going into the final round.<\/p>\n \u201cThe scores might be the same but if you saw me on the course, it wasn\u2019t the same. I\u2019d say\u00a0 Saturday was a two under that would have ended up as a five under or four under because I struck the ball really well. But today(Sunday) on a few shots the swing was missing, and that\u2019s how the game is. Each day is different,\u201d said Harish.<\/p>\n The tournament supported by NCBA Bank has attracted over 110 \u00a0golfers drawn from \u00a0from 10 countries.<\/p>\n The three-day tournament concludes today with players in the 15-18 years category earning merit points that will count in the World Amateur Golf Ranking,WAGR.<\/p>\n The post Maryam Mwakitawa on top of leaderboard at JGF Invitational Tourney at Windsor<\/a> appeared first on KBC<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Maryam Mwakitawa maintained her position at the top of the leaderboard in the girls 15-18 years at the ongoing Junior Golf Foundation NCBA Invitational at Windsor Golf and Country Club,Nairobi.
