Nkana Golf Club’s Dominic Musonda, 22, is the famous day one leader of the 2025 Johnnie Walker Uganda Golf Amateur Open championship at Lugazi Hills Golf and Country Club.
Musonda tore the Lugazi Hills and Country Club course apart with a 6-under-65 gross mark during the opening round on Wednesday, 3rd September 2025.
“It was a great round” the diminutive four time Zambia Open winner remarked after posting 8 birdies, 8 pars and 2 bogies in 18 holes.
“The driver today was not perfect but I still made it with two bogies; one off the fair-ways on hole 14 with another on the green on hole 17” Musonda added.
The Zambian takes a two shot lead coming to round two; with Uganda’s amateur team captain Joseph Cwinya-ai in second place.
Musonda tees off round two at 8:40 AM alongside Juma Abiti and Titus Okwong.
Cwinya-ai played 4-under 67 during the opening round with 5 birdies, 12 pars and just a bogie on the par-3-hole 17.
The event runs up to Saturday at the par-71 course.
