adminGondo attributed his performance to hard work and believes he can maintain the good form in today’s round.
“I enjoyed the game from the beginning and I think these are some results of hard work since I have doubled my practice to eight or nine hours a day,” said Gondo. I am working harder than before but as for today’s round (yesterday) I just had some good shots.
“My drive and putting was good and I am playing a consistent game that saw me managing to get five birdies, two bogeys and 11 pars. I hope tomorrow I will come and keep the ball in play and maintain some decent scores, which are the basics of the game.
“There was a bit of wind today and I hope that will not continue,” Gondo said. Tshuma, who will play in the last ball with his Bulawayo partner Gondo, believes that putting drove him into pole position yesterday.
“I had decent putts,” Tshuma said. “I managed to birdie hole 2, 4, 6 and had an eagle on 14, the bogeys came in holes 7, 8 and 10 while the rest were pars.
“I just hope to continue with the momentum and make more putts, I also feel the course is in good condition.
“Having played here three weeks ago I have seen a great improvement,” said Tshuma.
Tshuma, who lost his mother some few weeks ago, said he was now in a better state of mind. Dale Howie was on second on two-under-par 71. Davison Alijah, Micky
Hough Robson Saurombe and Mike Baylis were on third after carding one-under-par 71.
Greg Bentley, who won the last tournament, stayed in contention as he carded a level par 72.
