It was a weekend of top-notch action as various courses across the country hosted different tournaments. Among them, 141 lady golfers descended on the lush fairways of Thika Sports Club for the highly anticipated Thika Ladies Open on Saturday.
In a thrilling battle for the top spot, Benta Khanili, playing off a handicap of seven, emerged as the star of the tournament. Displaying remarkable composure under pressure, Khanili carded an impressive 80 gross to claim the coveted overall gross title at the meet.
It wasn't an easy sail for Khanili within the elite Division A as Division A gross trophy winner Cherise Wachira, playing off a handicap of six, matched her card stroke-for-stroke, also finishing with an identical score of 80 gross.
