Nzioki Clinches Equity Bank Golf Tournament ¶
Published on August 11, 2019
One of the leading golfers in Machakos, Jackson Nzioki, emerged as the best during the Equity Bank-sponsored golf tournament at the par 72 Machakos Golf Club course at the weekend.
Nzioki carded a perfect round of 42 stableford points, which was one under par gross 71. He started the round with a birdie at the par five-first hole but dropped shots at the fourth, picked up a double at the seventh, and one more shot at the eighth.
However, he closed the nine with a birdie at the ninth to cross to the back nine with two over par. It was at the back nine where Nzioki managed to pick up four birdies in a row from the 14th to the 17th for a strong three under back nine.
Finishing second just a point behind was James Nderitu, playing off handicap 26, while Nicodemus Masaka took home the third prize with a score of 38, just one better than club chairman Sawarn Singh to claim the fourth prize.
Other notable winners included Michael Kinuthia, who posted 35 points to win on countback from Paul Muigai in the guest category, and Nancy Kariuki, who won the ladies' first prize with 34 points.
