Meanwhile, at the Railway Golf Club in Nairobi, home player Isaac Makokha produced a masterclass to win the 2025 NCBA Railway Invitational.
Competing against 72 players, Makokha carded 5-under-par 211 over three rounds to edge past Michael Karanga (4-under-par 212) and John Lejirma (1-over-par 217).
Makokha, who has a hearing disability, set the tone with a sizzling 4-under-par 68 in the opening round, followed by 1-under 71 in round two.
A double bogey on the 8th hole during the final round threatened to derail his momentum, but he steadied to finish level par and secure the crown.
Karanga, the defending champion, finished strongly with a 4-under-par 68 in the last round after back-to-back 72s in the opening two. Lejirma recovered from a shaky first round (74) with rounds of 71 and 72, but had to settle for third.
With this victory, Makokha climbs to 4th place on the NCBA standings with 753 points. Lejirma remains on top with 2050 points, followed by Karanga (1712) and Elvis Muigus (1046).
