“It is not yet pressure,” Wanyeche who led by 3-over 74 on round one down-played the tension that comes with being at the top.
“I will play my normal game to maintain the status quo,” she added as she leads by a single shot off the shoulders of three-time winner Babirye.
The second pressure group will come 10 minutes earlier at 10:20 am with the likes of Tanzania’s Aalaa Riyaz Somji and Vicky Elias as well as Uganda’s Harriet Kitaka and the long-hitting Meron Kyomugisha.

“I enjoyed the course at Entebbe. This was my first time ever to play on it. I hope to improve during rounds two and three,” Burundi’s Kangana, a member of Bujumbura Golf Club stated.
