Zimbabwe’s Robson Chinhoi finally grabbed a one shot lead despite bogeying the last hole, going into Wednesday’s final round of the Safari Tour Season Four golf tournament at the par 72 Vet Lab Sports Club course in Kabete.

He got off well firing four birdies at the first though he dropped a shot early at the back nine, a shot he quickly recovered with a birdie four at the par five‐14th and added one more at the 17th hole. At the 18^th hole, Chinhoi and histeam‐mates Greg Snow and Tafara Mpofu were just 30 yards from the green on their tee shots, though Chinhoi went behind the tree next to the green.

He failed to go over the tree and forced to chip a low shot past the pin, and missed the par, to drop his second shot of the day.

“I took off well and was set for a good round, save for the bogey at the short hole 11th and the 18th where I just could think on how high the tree was. But all the same, I am very happy with my round, I believe I have an equally good chance to win tomorrow’’ said Chinhoi after signing for his brave four under par which game him a total of three under 213.

Day two leader Greg Snow on the other hand bogeyed two holes at the second and third but managed to recover the two shots with birdies at the fourth and ninth to level the front nine. He later played a bogey‐free back nine for the day’s two under par, to tie with home pro Mike Kisia on two under par 214.

“The course particularly the greens were better, the pins were fairly good but I just didn’t start too well as I dropped two shots just at the beginning of the nine, but I was able to recover and I believe I have a good chance of going up on the leader‐board tomorrow’’ said Snow who missed the opening leg at the Sigona Golf Club last week.

It was a great day for the home player Kisia who had started with two over par 74 in each of the first round, as he fired a brilliant score of six under par 66 in the third round, to move the attacking position going into the final round where he will be in the flight of leader Chinhoi and Muthaiga Golf Club’s Snow.

A total of 24 players had made the second round cut to proceed to the last two rounds where the winner will take home Sh 230,000 or more depending his under par scores. Meanwhile those who did not make cut are on their way to the Great Rift Valley Golf Resort to prepare for the third leg from this coming Sunday.
