The Kenya Amateur Golf Championship (KAGC) Series continues, with the Limuru Open teeing off this morning at the Limuru Country Club. The NCBA Limuru Open and Brackenhurst Trophy, a three-day tournament, has attracted a strong field of 96 golfers,
The Limuru Open is a key stop on the KAGC calendar, offering valuable ranking points and a chance for the country’s leading amateurs to test themselves against elite regional competition.
Series leader John Kamaisi will be aiming to tighten his grip at the top of the standings, and so will be second-placed Jay Sandhu, and third-placed Elvis Muigua, who all arrive in top form after winning last weekend’s NCBA Coast Open ‘Barry Cup’ in Mombasa.
Kamaisi leads the KAGC rankings with 809.20 points after finishing runner-up at the Coast Open.
Sandhu is second on 640.00 points, Muigua third with 495.26, Eugine Wafula sits fourth on 472.26, while William Odek completes the top five with 409.56 points.
Teenage stars Kanana Muthomi and Cherono Kipkorir, alongside Kellie Gachaga, Maryam Mwakitawa, and Nancy Wairimu, lead the women’s category of the series.
Golfers from Rwanda, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Burundi, Uganda, India, Ghana, China, and Serbia will also compete, giving the championship a strong regional and international flavour as they battle for a share of the Sh700,000 prize purse.
