Meanwhile, junior golfers will take centre stage on Sunday when Ruiru Sports Club hosts the second leg of the 2026 NCBA U.S. Kids Golf Fall Local Tour – Nairobi.
The event will bring together boys and girls aged between five and 18, competing in age-specific categories designed to provide competitive experience and support their development.
“The second leg of the NCBA U.S. Kids Golf Fall Local Tour is an important opportunity for our young golfers to build on the experience from the opening tournament and continue competing in a structured environment,” said JGF president James Ondigo.
“We expect another exciting tournament at Ruiru Sports Club, with players across the different age categories getting valuable competitive exposure as they work on their skills and consistency.”
The Ruiru tournament follows the opening leg at Thika Greens Golf Resort on August 23, where Ivan Kipyegon Kimutai, James Tino and Paren Reel posted the best scores.
Kimutai and Tino each carded one-under-par 35 in the Boys 10 category, while Reel shot one-under-par 71 in the Boys 11 category.
In the girls’ categories, Leticia Mwangale and Ashley Gachora posted the best scores in the Girls 11-12 and Girls 13-14 categories respectively, both finishing on par.
The young golfers will also earn Priority Status points, which can qualify them for U.S. Kids Golf international events, including the Regional Invitational and Regional Championship.
