On September 1, 2019, Kenyan golfer Kepha Bosire made a remarkable comeback to win the 2019 Muthoni Muthiga Trophy at the par 72 Vet Lab Sports Club course.
Bosire, a former Director of Corporate Communication at Kenya Commercial Bank, started the day poorly, pushing his driver to the right side trees on the first hole and eventually scoring a nine on the first hole.
However, he managed to recover with a birdie at the ninth hole and went on to score 17 points at the front nine.
At the back nine, Bosire dropped shots at the 12th, 13th, and 15th holes but parred the rest to score an impressive 22 points, beating men winner Eddy Mogoa, Chrispin Owuor, and third-placed man Peter Njuguna on countback.
"It has been a while since I won any event at Vet Lab, but thanks to the back nine which saw me emerge the winner," Bosire said.
Grace Waiganjo won the ladies' first prize in the tournament, posting 39 points to win by two points from Nelius Kariuki. Pauline Kamuti was third on 36 points.
