The first leg of the Safaricom Golf Tour culminated in the Junior Golf Tournament, which saw Belinda Wanjiru emerge as the best girl with 76 points, while Justin Ngeera emerged as the best boy with 72 points.
“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 encourage and support 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.
After Nanyuki, the tournament proceeds to Limuru Golf Club on February 26 2022, before heading to the Muthaiga Golf Club.
