Muigua crowned new Nyanza Hippo Pot champion

Elvis Muigua won the 2026 NCBA Nyanza Hippo Pot title in Kisumu with a three-round score of 209, ending the tournament without a defending champion.

Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club’s Elvis Muigua ended John Lejirma’s three-year reign at the NCBA Nyanza Hippo Pot after producing a strong performance to win the 2026 title at Nyanza Golf Club in Kisumu on Sunday.

Muigua returned a three-round total of 209, one under par, to beat a field of 66 amateur golfers and claim the Kenya Amateur Golf Championship (KAGC) series title, which attracted some of the country’s leading players.

Railway’s Lejirma, who won the tournament three times before turning professional, had left the championship without a defending champion after his move to the paid ranks, opening the door for a new name to be added to the trophy.
