Deaflympics golf bronze medalist Isaac Makokha defeated reigning champion Michael Karanga to win the Railway Invitation title, the Kenya Amateur Golf Championships (KAGC) series at the par 72 Kenya Railways Golf Club.
Playing on home turf, the composed Makokha fired a total of five under par 211, beating Karanga with shot at 212, as KAGC leader and national captain John Lejirma settled for third position, recording his maiden victory in the 2025 series ahead of 2026 Magical Kenya Open.
The victory denied Karanga a hattrick of titles after winning 2024 and 2023 before going ahead to claim the overall KAGC title.
As part of his preparations for the 2025 Deaflympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, Makokha rolled in four under par 68 in round one on Friday, followed by one under par 71 in round two yesterday and today’s level par.
