ALL the 11 amateur golfers who had qualified to take part in the 2025 FBC Zimbabwe Open at Royal Harare Golf Club failed to make the cut going into the final two days of the tournament.
Chikanyambidze was two strokes ahead of Keegan Shutt and Devon Valentine who both made seven-over-par-151. Shijie Li finished with a score of eight-over-par-152 while Tanaka Chatora made nine-over-par-153. Michael Wallace was one shot behind Chatora on 10-over-par-154 with Terrance Keith and Braydon Amm both carding 16-over-par-160 followed by Kelvin Muchenje on 18-over-par-162 and Tawana Mangoma and Nerudo Mregi on 21-over-par-165. It was a difficult outing for the amateurs. Meanwhile, Luis Carrera is enjoying a narrow one-shot lead at the top of the leaderboard. Carrera shot an impressive six-under-par-66 which took him to an overall 11-under-par-133 after 36 holes of golf. He is followed by MJ Viljoen on 10-under-par-134 while Hennie Otto – who was the overnight leader on round one – Martin Rohwer and Austin Bautista are tied for third place on seven-under-par-137. Rohwer had the best round on the day shooting a breath-taking seven-under-par-65 having shot level-par in the first round. His magical round was bogey-free, with seven birdies, four on the front nine and three on the back nine. Jean Hugo (-6) is in position six while Robson Chinhoi and Trevor Fisher Junior are tied for position seven on five-under-par-139 after round scores of 68 and 70 respectively. Completing the top leader-board after round two is a six-way tie for position nine between Ruan Conradie, Fredrik From, Warwick Purchase, Samuel Simpson, Simon du Plooy, and Doug McGuigan who are all on four-under-par-140.
From the 11 amateurs, 10 were from Zimbabwe with Devon Valentine coming from South Africa.
