Uganda national golf team captain Joseph Cwinya-ai is through to the semi-finals of the inaugural President’s Cup and will face Joseph Reagan Akena in what promises to be a high-stakes encounter at the Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa course.
Cwinya-ai, who has impressed throughout the tournament, believes mental strength and strategic play have been key to his progress so far.
“The tournament so far has been good. I’ve had good games. I’ve been able to play around with the mentality of my opponents and this has helped me win games,” he said.
As one of Uganda’s most experienced players, Cwinya-ai is using the President’s Cup not only to compete but also to refine his overall performance.
“I’m using the tournament to improve different aspects of my game as a player,” he added.
He also credited the Uganda Golf Union for creating a platform that has boosted local competition and sharpened players’ match-play skills.
“I thank the Uganda Golf Union for organising this match play. It’s very helpful for us, especially that we have come from victory in the Victoria Cup where we beat our neighbours Kenya,” Cwinya-ai noted.
Cwinya-ai will be aiming to add another accolade to his name as he pursues a place in the final and a shot at the top prize.
