Consolate Achieng produced a composed performance to win the July Mug of the Month tournament at Nyanza Golf Club in Kisumu, beating a field of more than 70 golfers to take the overall title after edging Mourine Nyongesa on count back.
The two golfers finished tied on 62 points after an exciting day on the Lake Victoria course, but Achieng claimed the top prize through the count back rule, adding another memorable victory to her growing list of achievements.
For Achieng, the win was about more than just good shots and steady putting. She said her faith gave her the strength to remain calm throughout the round, especially during the closing holes when every stroke mattered.
