Kuria savours Standard County Golf Classic victory

Kuria fired 42 stableford points to walk away with a one night for two at Oltukai Lodge in Amboseli.

After firming her swings at the pristine 36-hole Ho Chi Minh City golf course in Vietnam a fortnight ago, handicap 33 Eunice Kuria descended at Royal Nairobi Golf Club where she floored a field of 190 participants to win the 2026 Standard County Golf Classic Nairobi Edition on Thursday.

Other subsidiary partners of the event, whose theme was ‘On the green course, for the green cause’ in support of sustainable actions on climate change, were Stabex International and Stima Sacco.

“The victory means a lot to me. It’s my first ever win since I embrace golf three years ago,” Kuria, a banker by profession, told Standard Sports.

The passionate player who doubles both as Royal and Nyali Golf Club member noted that she had a strong fourball on the course during the tournament.

“They helped me to enjoy the game. My caddie was very resourceful too; he showed me the clubs and the lines to use.
