At the time of compiling this report late yesterday, Dlamini was ahead of the five golfers in Bonita Bredenhann, Ivanna Samu, Tandi Mc Callum, Francesca Cuturi, and Lora Assad with four points. Action is taking place at the Royal Swazi Golf Course in Ezulwini.

It is Nobuhle’s first tournament in the country since her maiden championship win in the paying ranks about two months ago. She won the SuperSport Ladies Challenge in South Africa.

In the past year, the former South Africa’s number one female amateur golfer had ranked second overall in the Investec tournament and walked away with E30 000 in cash prizes.

The tournament started with a pre-qualifier on Tuesday. The next two rounds will be played between today and tomorrow.
