James Tino top at U.S. Kids Golf Championship Tour at Muthaiga

The U.S. Kids Golf Fall Season ended yesterday with the Championship Tour held at the Muthaiga Golf Club with 146 junior golfers—96 boys and 50 girls —aged 5 to 18, competing across age-specific categories for both Tour Championship titles and Priority Status points. 

Organized in partnership with U.S. Kids Golf and the Junior Golf Foundation Kenya, the tournament marked the culmination of a spirited competition aimed at nurturing and spotlighting junior golf talent in Kenya. 

James Tino was the standout player of the day as he played 3-under-par in the Boys 9 category to finish ahead of Hakeem Mutungi, who finished top of the standings in the category for the season. 

Adam Nesbitt, who has won all the legs that he has taken part in through the season, played 3-over-par 75 to emerge the winner of the Boys 12 category for the round and take his total scores for the season to 240 to top the leaderboard. 

Speaking at Muthaiga, Nesbitt was not content with his display for the round. 

“Today was not my best, and I could have played much better. However, I ended the season with a good finish. Throughout the season, there are some rounds that I feel I should have done better. I will work hard for the upcoming Kenya Invitational scheduled for December,” Nesbitt said. 

Ashley Gachora finished the season strongly, also playing even par for the day and extending his points to 260 for the season to win it all in the Girls 11-12 category. 

The US Kids Nairobi Fall Tour remains a key part of the junior golf calendar, providing young athletes a stage to compete, learn, and develop their game in a friendly yet competitive environment.
