Golf Masters series fifth leg overall winner, Tile Kiprotich. [Mose Sammy, Standard]

Banking on similar chilly early morning conditions at his home course, Nandi Bears Golf Course experience, Tile Kiprotich blindly navigated through the dense wall of fog at Karen Country Club to claim the fifth leg of the Duracoat Golf Masters series overall title.

A field of 230 golfers was fighting for the 12 coveted qualifier slots to the grand finale at Mount Kipipiri Golf Resort later this year. The action-packed leg pushed the series’ total turnout past a staggering 1,300 golfers, following previous high-octane stops at Vet Lab, Nakuru, Sigona, and Nanyuki.

Kiprotich shot a final round total of 42 stableford points to be declared the legs’ Men winner. The triumph marked his second major victory in just a fortnight, hot on the heels of his high-profile win at the Royal Nairobi Golf Club.
