On September 7, 2019, Kenya's Daniel Nduva completed a four-round total of two under par 286 to claim the 2019 Uganda Open amateur golf championship at the Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort.
The Kenyans made a historic 1-2-3 sweep, with Nduva playing a clean first nine that included two birdies at the third and fifth holes for two under par front nine.
He started the back nine well, rolling in a birdie at the 13th but a double bogey at the 14th almost ruined his chances of claiming the Uganda Open trophy.
However, he made a birdie at the 17th for a closing two under par 70, to win by a shot from compatriot Simon Njogu.
Njogu had set the pace for the day, but bogeyed the 14th and 16th, having earlier dropped four shots at the first nine where he made two birdies at the second and ninth.
The three Kenyan golfers - Nduva, Njogu, and Samuel Njoroge - have also qualified to play along with the pros in next week's professional tournament, which is now part of the Safari Tour.
