Gathumbi, who was knocked out in the first round of last year’s tournament at Sigona, led 2-up at the end of the first 18 holes. Besides giving me many points, winning here also offers me a chance to qualify for the Kenya Open. Gathumbi started his campaign for the title with a walk over from David Murigi before beating Royal’s Robert Nyanchoga 1-up in the second round. He later beat Royal Nairobi’s Dennis Saikwa 2-1 in the quarter-finals to reach the semis against junior international Mutahi Kibugu, whom he beat 4-3. Mudanyi had beaten John Karichu of Limuru 5-3 in the semis to reach the final.
