Kistensamy claims early African Amateur lead
DOWERGLEN, 8 February 2021 – A blaze of birdies on his back nine boosted KwaZulu-Natal teenager Kyle Kistensamy to the summit of a congested first round leaderboard in the African Amateur Stroke Play Championship at Glendower Golf Club on Monday.
After the soggy build-up over the last two weeks, the clear skies and the sun dappling through the trees brought an air of expectation of something special to come as.
Kistensamy burst from the blocks with a birdie start on the par four 10th and the 19-year-old edged into the sole lead with further gains on 15 and 16, but for a while it looked as if he would be eclipsed after bogeys on the first and third holes.
