Fresh from winning the Kaebet Open, Nakuru based golfer John Kamais will be heading to Coast Open ‘Barry Cup’ in search of back to back victories at the Mombasa Golf Club.
The three day tournament that tees off tomorrow, Friday July 3 through to Sunday July 5 wants to make it back-to-back victories after winning Kabete Open last weekend.
As former Nakuru captain, Kamais will spearhead a strong field of 65 golfers in one of the key KAGC events alongside Elvis Muigua and William Odek also expected to feature prominently in the championship field, Amos Odongo, Adel Taufiq Balala, and other top contenders.
Nyali Golf & Country Club’s Mary Kandu will lead the female contingent that also has Naomi Kikulu, Janet Ouma, Grace Kwamboka, and Prisca Jebet.
Last weekend, Kamaisi carded a one-over-par 73 in the final round of the Kabete Open to finish on a three-over-par total of 219, following earlier rounds of 74 and 72.
His consistent display saw him lead the tournament from the opening round and fend off a strong field of 130 golfers from across East Africa.
The Kabete victory follows his triumph at the Kiambu Open earlier this season and saw him rise to the top of the KAGC Order of Merit standings with 736 points after 13 events, overtaking Muthaiga Golf Club’s Jay Sandhu, who now moves to second on 630 points.
