Nigerian professional Andrew Odoh who appears to have picked his form at the right time, produced a bogey-free five-under par 66, to claim a one-shot lead at the close of round one in the Safari Tour ninth leg at Karen Country. He however made a six at the par-five-11th but quickly recovered at the 12th for a fine 67 which gives him a great chance for a fourth title in the 2020/2021 Safari Tour series. The first round produced 12 under par scores while 18 players played level par and better which shows the high level of golf being played this week. Wangai on the other hand played a bogey-less front nine and went four-under until he dropped a shot at the par-three-14th. Muchangi shot one under par 70 while Wafula who is seeking his second cut in the tour shot two-over-par 73 in the opening round.
