Two weeks after winning the Ronald Marshall & Tobby Gibson Cup at the Njoro Country Club, Elvis Muigua will lead other top amateurs for the 12th leg of Kenya Amateur Golf Championship (KAGC) Series at the Coronation & Bendor Trophy at the par 73 Nakuru Golf Club starting today morning.
The three day event brings together a field of over 100 elite amateurs for the battle of a new winner this year in the absence of last year’s champion John Lejirma who has since turned pro.
The field will also have Adel Balala, William Odek, Uganda’s Joseph Kasozi, Elly Barno, Rwanda’s Felix Dusabe and John Kamaisi who is second on the 2026 KAGC rankings. Kellie Gachaga and Mercy Nyanchama will highlight the women in the competition alongside home player Emma Pennington.
The 2026 KAGC standings remain tightly contested, with Jay Sandhu leading the leaderboard on 560.00 points. John Kamaisi sits second on 373.20 points, followed by Junaid Ayaz Manji in third with 349.52 points. Elvis Muigua is fourth on 347.26 points, while Amos Odongo rounds out the top five on 326.29 points.
“This is yet another weekend where we have activities from the junior level to the elite amateur level. Again, more golfers will have the chance to qualify for the Golf Series Grand Finale this weekend,” said John Gachora.
