The Sunshine Tour—one of the world’s premier professional golf tours—expanded into Kenya and the East African region in March with the launch of the Sunshine Development Tour – East Africa Swing.
The series aims to offer a professional platform for golfers in the region to compete in high-level events aligned with Sunshine Tour standards.
Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club’s Njoroge Kibugu carded a flawless round of eight-under-par 64 to take an early lead as the Sunshine Development Tour’s East Africa Swing teed off at Thika Greens Golf Resort on Tuesday.
Kibugu’s round featured eight birdies—at the 1st, 4th, 6th, 9th, 11th, 12th, and 18th holes—earning him a commanding four-shot lead over his nearest challenger, Karen Country Club’s Edwin Mudanyi, who made a late surge up the leaderboard to finish at four-under-par 68.
