The Zimbabwean professional golf duo of Robinson Chinhoi and Nyasha Munyambo are leading the second leg of Safari Tour following brilliant displays at the Par -72 Limuru Country Club.
A total of 23 pros who made the cut on the event are battling it out for the coveted Limuru stakes.
Munyambo fired a decent round of 5 under par 72 to catapult to the summit with only one round to spare.
He now shares the lead with compatriot Chinhoi who shot 4 under par 68. Chinhoi's stunning comeback, after a disappointing round one where he posted a disappointing 6 over par 78, has seen Kenyans dip further below the leader board.
The Zimbaweans lead the Limuru leg on 3 under par 213, with the leading Kenyan in position three being total of 1 under par 215 in position three.
Long-time leader Visitor Mapwanya of Zimbabwe had dipped to sixth following a round of 4 over par 76.
Kenya's Mike Kisia, who alongside Mapwanya dictated round two proceedings on Monday, is now tied for 4th with compatriot Edwin Mudanyi on 1 over par 217.
The pros will play the last 18 holes of the 72-hole stable competition today, Wednesday November 9.
Professional Golfers of Kenya (PGK) Chairman CJ Wangai who is also playing in the event described the Limuru leg competition as "cutthroat".
"We are witnessing stiff opposition from the foreign professionals which goes to show how tough the Safari Tour will be going forward. Kenyans have also given a good account of themselves with Mike Kisia also jointly leading on Day Two," said Wangai.
The Safari Tour season five is being used as a yardstick to ascertain African regional players for the DP World Tour Kenya Open Championship.
Over 15 foreign professionals have signed up for the second round of the event which ends on Wednesday.
The Kenya Open will take place in March next year after the conclusion of the Tour which started with Ugandan Open Golf Championship.
