Galaxy FM director, Robert Busingye sunk in a long par putt to book a place in the penultimate Grand Finale with his partner Richard Lutwama in the prestigious Singleton Match Play Challenge last Saturday at Entebbe Golf Club.
Richard Lutwama and Robert Busingye from Palm Valley Golf Club were all square after 18 and need 2 more holes to beat homeboy Samuel Kato and Uganda Golf Club’s counsel Charles Odere.
During the sudden death play-off, both pairs were square after hole one.
On hole number 2, Kato who had gotten on for 1, missed his buddy putt before Robert drove in a long one to win the hole booking a place in the finals.
“We have been training hard for this one and are looking forward to moving to the finals,” Busingye said.
“It won’t be an easy game for us and we know our opponents are good too.” he added
On his part,Lutwama said “The pressure was on us throughout the duel and it grew bigger in the last two holes in the play off,”
“Our opponents were a great group and we are glad we have reached the finals. We are going to enjoy our game and looking forward to winning it,” added the captain of Palm Valley Golf Club.
While Lutwama and Busingye cherished their progress , vocal Ssuubi Kiwanuka and partner Tim Mwanda’s fairytale run came to an end as they were defeated by Geoffrey Orach and Andrew Atuhaire 4/3 (4-up with three holes to go).
The Uganda Breweries sponsored tournament that has been running for six months will climax with the Grand Finale next month with the winning team earning an all-expense paid trip by RwandAir to watch Omega 2020 Dubai Desert Classic in January.
