Githiaka savours sweet victory at VetLab course

Muchau Githiaka registered a superb score of 44 stableford points to outshine a packed field of 242 golfers during the Sweet Banana golf festival at the Vet Labs Sports Club layout.

Playing off a handicap of 13, Githiaka delivered a masterclass performance to outclass a stacked lineup of contenders in the thriller festival now in its 12th edition. “Everything just clicked for me out there,” an elated Githiaka said.

“The course demanded patience and precision, but my short game stayed steady when it mattered most.” “Winning against such a talented and large field makes this win incredibly special,” he added.

There was intense action across all the divisions. As a youngster, Wahome Mutahi scooped the Gross title with a fantastic score of 74 gross, while also taking home the Nearest to the Pin award for men.

Securing the Men winner crown was Karan Singh with a sterling score of 44 stableford points with a better countback score over second-placed Joseph Kinuthia, while Woochul Lee rounded out the top three with 39 stableford points.
