Kigo, Uganda | LOUIS JADWONG | With everyone falling apart except her and Palm Valley club’s Meron Kyomugisha, Uganda’ Golf Club star Martha Babirye kept cool nerves to secure the Tusker Malt Uganda Ladies Golf Open title by 5 strokes on Saturday.
With Peace Kabasweka (11 bogeys, 1 double bogey) fading with every hole at the par 72 Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa in Kigo, it was left to Kyomugisha to try and wrestle the title from Babirye on a cool lake-side course that survived the rains that hit Kampala.
Three birdies and 3 pars in the first six holes put Kyomugisha back in contention, just two strokes behind the leaders but it required something similar in the last 12 holes for her to close the gap she started the day with – 9 shots.
Babirye, winner in 2019 and 2020 before, showed why she’s been champion before by playing safe, and stringing 9 pars after the first 6 holes that had given Kyomugisha hope.
She hugged her caddie after the final putt, as she celebrated appropriately by sipping from a glass of Tusker Malt.
