IBB Ladies Golf Open: Danjuma Fires 165 Gross To lead

Nigeria’s Rachael Danjuma took the lead at the weekend after amassing a total of 165 gross on the second day of play at the 2017 IBB Ladies Golf Open in Abuja.
Tidesports gathered that no fewer than 160 lady golfers are taking part in this year’s tournament which is the event’s 19th edition.
The players taking part in the four-day amateur golf tournament are from four countries, namely Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
“Danjuma who has 165 gross after the second round takes the lead from the defending champion, Amina Wilfred, who has a gross of 175.
“The highlight of the second round saw Danjuma shoot up to first position on the leader board after finishing 10 shots clear of compatriot Wilfred.
“Also, Ghanaian Jessica Tei finished third with 178 gross.
“At the end, 45 lady golfers made the cut and will now contest for the final.’’ Tournament Director, Nanwor Mamven, said the Danjuma had a good chance of dethroning the defending champion at the end of the third and final round.
“If she can only keep her head down and doesn’t get carried away by the wave of the moment, I believe we will have a new champion”, Mamven said.
“A 10-shot lead is a massive ground for her nearest rival to cover, but you never know. It’s not over until it is over,” Mamven said.
