AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Handicap 19 Steve Macharia won the maiden Ngao Credit golf tournament overall title at the par-73 Nakuru Golf Club over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Macharia, who is the Njoro Country Club chairman, fired a sterling round total of 42 stableford points to triumph over a field of 146 golfers who competed in the day-long tournament that was played under clear blue skies.<\/p>\n

On his outward nine, Macharia lost several birdie chances as he hit most of the greens on regulation and failed to convert his chances into commendable scores.<\/p>\n

Macharia, who exhibited a solid short game through his round of 18, opened his scorecard with a double-bogey, birdied the second, a par-four, before bogeying the fifth, a par-four.<\/p>\n

He then inked his second birdie of the day on the par-four sixth hole, double-bogeyed the seventh, a par-four, before blanking the ninth for a front-nine score of 22 stableford points.<\/p>\n

After the turn, his good score seemed to take toll on him as he collapsed, picking five successive bogeys on the par-four 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, a par-five, and 14th, a par-four.<\/p>\n

Macharia later parred the 15th hole, a par-three, bogeyed the next hole, and parred the 17th, a par-three before winding up with another bogey on the homestretch, a par-five to have an additional 20 stableford points for a round total of 42.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy game was stable and the course equally favoured me,\u201d said Macharia. \u201cI was swinging well throughout my round and played alongside a great team of players who made me exhibit a good game too.\u201d<\/p>\n

It seemed to be a Njoro Country Club affair as it\u2019s players occupied the three top spots in the tournament.<\/p>\n

Playing off handicap 28, Gurviv Sagoo finished second with 41 (19+22) stableford points as handicap 15 Indraj Singh took the overall third with 40 (21+19) stableford points.<\/p>\n

Donning the ladies gong was Linda Munyao, playing off-handicap 26 with 37 (18+19) stableford points.<\/p>\n

The tournament was presented by credit solutions provider Ngao Credit and will be moving to Thika Greens Golf Resort in two weeks time.<\/p>\n

Other venues that are scheduled to host the tournament include Vet Lab, Nyali Country Golf and Club, Eldoret Club, Kakamega Sports Club and Ruiru Sports Club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
