OSHAE Haye and Jodi Munn-Barrow are the day-two leaders in the three-day Jamaica Golf Association’s (JGA) National Amateur Golf Championship which is being played at Sandals Golf & Country Club in St Ann.

Haye posted the best score on the second day to overtake Zandre Roye for the lead. He is currently three strokes ahead of defending champion Justin Burrowes. Haye’s two-day score of 146 came on the back of three over par 74 on day one and one over par 72 on day two. He started with a bogey but recovered to post three birdies and two bogeys for the front nine to end the first half on one under par 35. His back nine showed just two bogeys for two over par 37

“I played pretty well today. The course was playing pretty difficult; I did one over par. It’s not the best but I have to be grateful with the conditions of the course [because] it’s not playing easy,” Haye said.

Burrowes’ two-day score of 149 saw him dropping six shots on day two for 77, on top of his day-one score of one over par 72. He will be looking to make amends on the final day if he is to overtake Haye and successfully defend his title.

Former national champion William Knibbs maintained his third place with scores of 73 and seven over par 78 on day two for a combined score of 151.

Day-one leader Zandre Roye dropped to fourth place after posting ten over par 81 on the second day on top of his par 71 on the first day.

Jodi Munn-Barrow, president of the JGA and player in the championship, is the sole leader in the Ladies’ section with identical scores of 75 on day one and 75 on day two for 150 overall. She will not be challenged as she is the only female in the top (0-6) handicap category.

Tee off time on Monday’s third and final day is 8:30 am, while day-two leader Oshae Haye will tee off at 10 am and defending champion Justin Burrowes will take his first shot at 10:10 am.
