  • The 20-year-old Muigua, who led in the first round on Friday, carded two over par 74 for a 36-hole total of level par 144, to take home Sh92,480 prize money
  • At the back nine, Muigua picked up seven pars, then dropped a shot at the 17th, missed what would have been the only birdie of the day at the 18th where he missed a footer
  • Balala, on the other hand, made a total of five birdies and an eagle at the 15th, but five birdies could only give him two under par 70 for over par 145 to tie with Lejirmah

Kiambu Golf Club’s Elvis Muigua beat Nyali Golf and Country Club’s Adel Balala and John Lejirmah from Railway by a shot, to clinch the 2024 Winston Churchill Cup golf tournament at the par 72 Thika Sports Club course on Sunday.
