Mr. Bundi returned a total of 19 stableford points in the first nine and 20 on the second nine, totaling an impressive 39 points to secure a slot in the Grand Finale of The Safaricom Golf Tour to be held in Vipingo Ridge, Kilifi County, in August.

Taking the ladies top prize was Marion Githinji who posted 33 to win by one point from Dr Susan Ngure.

“I started golf when I was three years old and the journey has been quite tremendous as I have kept improving my scores. My parents have been a great inspiration as they keep encouraging and supporting me in golf. I thank Safaricom for this tournament as it will help nurture and grow more young talents into the sport,” said Belinda Wanjiru.
The golf tour in Nanyuki attracted over 50 junior golfers and 52 corporate golfers who took part in the eighteen-hole tournament, which was preceded by a community outreach engagement at Kano Grounds in Nanyuki town.
