Following closely at second is U. Anoruo, a very familiar player with 3 birdies and 4 bogeys, playing -1 under (71). The player would be ceasing this opportunity to prove himself. He doesn't start out really impressive but we're expecting the best for this player who has been dedicated to continuous growth and practice.
