Adam Nesbitt picked another maximum 30 points in the boys 11 years category to continue with his dominance in the third leg of the Spring tour of the NCBA US Kids Golf Tour at the Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club.
Nesbitt was not at his best but managed six over par 78 to emerge the category winner for the second consecutive tournament. Xia Yu was a distant second with a score of 88, ten strokes behind Nesbitt. Armand Kibirige and Jeremie Maina tied for third with a score of 94.
“I could have played a lot better. My putting was really off, especially with the conditions of the greens. I made a lot of silly mistakes which made me not play better,” explained Nesbitt.
Justine Ngeera played a fantastic round of golf ending with an impressive score of three over par 75 in the boys 13-14 years category. Aidan Gachora was three strokes behind to finish second with a score of 78 while Alpha Ndungu was third on 81. Nawenxuan Li, Yuvraj Rajput, and Amar Shah tied on 82 in what proved to be the competitive group of the day.
“I had a few good holes, on the par fives I had three birdies and an eagle. After hole 13 I four-putted, I had a double (bogey), then on the hardest hole on the course in my opinion, hole 14, I made a birdie and went on to make another birdie in hole 15. So I got some momentum, said Ngeera.
Yolanda Yu once again won the girls 13-14 years category with a score of 87. Randy Turi was second with a score of 89 while Amani Muriithi ended up third with a score of 90.
“Generally it was not so bad. Maybe it was the greens and some of my shots were out of line, and one hole, I didn’t like it. I played a ten and I have actually never played a ten, so it was shocking. And oh, I lost three shots,” quipped Yolanda.
This was the third leg of the NCBA US Kids Spring 2024 Tour after the opening legs in Limuru and Vetlab in August. The fourth leg out of eight will be played at the Royal Nairobi Golf Club on 22nd of September.
