It's Day Two of the Masters tournament at the 18-hole Arsennal Golf Course Owerri, Six golfers battle it out in the dry harmattan weather to survive what seems to be a very competitive tournament.

​

 

 Benue player D. Ali hit the ground running on day 1 but keeping the lead has seemed to be a challenge on Day two as he played 1 over par, barely distancing himself from his closest contender by two points but still maintaining his lead at the top of the leaderboard.

​

“I struggled a bit with my strategy causing me to miss a few chances but I'm happy to still be top of the leaderboard even though by hares breath. I look forward to giving it my best shot’’ said Ali as he reassuringly talked about maintaining a strategy that works.
