Published on September 19, 2019, Daniel Nduva, a long-hitting golfer from Nyali Golf and Country Club Mombasa, is the man to beat at the Kabete Open.
Just a few weeks ago, Nduva emerged victorious at the Uganda Open, firing a two-under-par total of 286 to lead a Kenyan 1-2-3 finish.
Simon Njogu from the Great Rift Valley Resort came in second with a score of 287, while Samuel Njoroge from Kenya Railway finished third with a level-par 288.
Both Njogu and Njoroge will be in action at the 54-hole Kabete Open, which also counts towards the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR).
The field also includes international junior Zubair Khan of Muthaiga, who finished 10th in Uganda, Thika's Peter Rimui, who was placed 13th, and Vet Lab's Mike Kisia, who shot 303 to finish in 15th place.
Leading the home attack will be Vet Lab's Mike Kisia, along with Ebill Omollo, Jack Mwangi, Isaac Makokha, and youngster Leo Zurovac, who are all eyeing the title.
However, it will be a tough task for them, particularly with Nduva, Njoroge, and Njogu in their best form at the moment.
The opening round is set for 7:30 am, followed by the second round in the afternoon, with the third and final round set for Sunday morning.
A brand new Isuzu D Max will be up for grabs at the par 72 Ruiru Sports Club course this weekend, courtesy of Isuzu East Africa.
The car, worth Sh6.4 million, will be a special prize for a Hole-In One at the par three-third hole during the Isuzu Golf day, which is one of the Isuzu East Africa Golf series.
