  • A total of 70 players teed off at the Q-School, with the top 50 set to earn a Sunshine Development Tour card, allowing them to compete in the Tour’s East Africa Swing.

Hardwork on the practice range is paying off for Kenya’s leading amateur golfer, John Lejirmah.

Fresh from his dominant 10-shot victory at the Kisii Open on Sunday, the Royal Nairobi Golf Club player and national team captain stormed to an early lead in the Sunshine Development Tour Q-School at Great Rift Golf Resort, Naivasha. Lejirmah carded a solid three-under-par 68 on Monday to top the leaderboard after round one.
