Musonda tames Johnnie Walker Uganda Amateur Open Day 3

What the report says

Zambian golfer Dominic Musonda took control of the Johnnie Walker Uganda Amateur Open after the third round at Kitante Golf Course in Kampala, Uganda, according to The Independent Uganda. The publication reported that Musonda posted an eight-under-par 64 on the par-72 course in the event’s penultimate round, moving to 12 under par overall through 54 holes.

The report said Musonda’s round featured an eagle on the opening hole and six birdies, with no bogeys. It also noted that he said he had hoped to go even lower, but remained confident about his position heading into the final round. His comments suggested he planned to stick to the same approach and focus on playing his own game.

Musonda’s nearest challenger was fellow Zambian Gilbert Chalwe, who stood six shots back at six under par. Uganda’s Joseph Kasozi was in third at one under par, 11 shots off the lead. The article presented the leaderboard as the field moved toward the final day, when the top amateur finishers are set to qualify for next week’s Pro Open.

The result matters because it places Musonda within reach of the title and highlights strong Zambian performance in a regional amateur competition that also features leading Ugandan and other East African players.
