Muthiga rules Vet memorial tourney

A studded field of over 150 golfers gathered on Friday at the Vet Labs Sports Club during the inaugural Dr Francis Wahome Memorial tournament.

The emotional yet celebratory event was spearheaded by Dr Wahome’s former clubmates, golf players, schoolmates, colleagues, and family. As their shared vision culminated in a remarkably well-attended memorial tournament aimed at celebrating his lasting legacy while raising funds for his children’s education.

There was fierce but friendly competition among the 156 active participants in the main draw, where Peter Muthiga delivered a masterclass performance off a handicap of 19, accumulating an outstanding 44 stableford points to claim the title.

In the Men’s category, Maurice Ochieng, playing off a handicap of 18 turned in a stellar 43 stableford points to secure the deserved victory. The battle for the top spot in the ladies’ category was equally tough, with Salome Ngeene, playing off a handicap of 49, capturing the first place with a similar score of 43 stableford points.
