OVER 100 golfers are expected to line up for the 10th leg of the Johnnie Walker Golf Series dubbed ‘Road to Gleneagles’ this Saturday at Thika Sports Club.
The players will participate in the tournament’s fourball Stableford format, where the top three teams will qualify to play in the Eagles Round (semi-finals) at Muthaiga Golf Club in May.
The Thika event follows the 9th leg at Karen Country Club on February 26, where David Mambo led his team of Andrew Ndolo, Sam Muraya, and Tom Simba to card a round of 107 points to emerge the overall winners.
The Ndolo led team finished ahead of the team of Muthoni Muturi, Doreen Murithi, Jacintah Wambugu, and Grace Gichuki who scored 105 points.
The team of John Muiruri, Stanley Nduati, James Kimondo, and Steve Waruhiu returned a score of 104 points to claim the third position.
Kenya Breweries Limited’s marketing manager for spirits, Josephine Katambo, weighed in on the series' progress, saying: “As we head to Thika Sports Club this weekend, we expect some very entertaining golf action as we have had in the previous events.
"This being the 10th event, we are happy with the progress of the Road to Gleneagles golf series so far as we have had a good number of participants.
"We are proud to have offered many golfers across the country a chance to compete in the tournament, which is an opportunity for them to better their skills,”
The event comes on the back of the brand’s involvement in the just-concluded Magical Kenya Open.
