Topping the leaderboard with a par (72) is the ever relentless golfer; U. Anoruo. He started the round with a par which was not too bad but eventually played bogeys in hole 4th,8th and eventually finishes the front 9 with an Eagle. With pars in hole 10th,11th,15th & 16th, a bogey in hole 13th and birdies in hole 17th & 18th in the back 9, saw him coming in with 39, finishing the round with par (72).
