Mathai, who also finished second in last year’s tournament, had also started with 21 points at the front nine, though he only managed 18 at the back nine.
Finishing in third place with 38 points was Richard Kabugi, while taking the ladies title also with 38 points was Sophie Githuku. Nanyuki Sports Club lady captain Dr Samantha Mathu was second on 36 points.
Home player James Warui displayed excellent form during the weekend’s fourth leg of the 2021 ICEA LION 'King of the Course' golf series beating a record field of 162 players to claim the overall title at the Nanyuki Sports Club.
Playing off handicap 15, Warui got off well, firing 21 points in the opening nine, while despite dropping a number of shots at the back nine, 19 points was still good enough as it gave him an impressive total of 40 points to beat veteran John Mathai by one point.
