Samuel Njoroge wins second leg of the PGK Equator Tour at Thika Sports Club

The Safaricom-backed player delivered consistent performances across the tournament to finish top of the leaderboard, carding 278(10 under par) to secure the title on the tour.

Dismas Indiza finished in second place with 279 points, followed by Karanga Michael with 283 points in third place.

The victory marks another important milestone for the Safaricom-sponsored golfer, who continues to build on the momentum from his maiden PGK Equator Tour title won during the first edition of the series at Diamonds Leisure Golf Club in Diani.

“I am very excited to win this tournament. The competition was tough, and every round was challenging, so I am happy with how I played throughout the week. Winning at Thika Sports Club is special to me, and this victory gives me confidence going into the next legs of the tour,” said Njoroge.

Also finishing in the top ten were Kennedy Abuto with 288 points, Greg Snow and Edwin Mudanyi tied with 289, John Lejirma with 290 points, CJ Wangai with 294, Mike Kisia with 295 points, and Mohit Mediratta finishing with 296 points.

This year’s PGK Equator Tour will be played across 11 courses around the country as players battle for honours in one of Kenya’s leading professional golf series, the Magical Kenya Open and the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

As the second leg comes to a close today, the focus now goes to Limuru Country Club for the third leg of the tour.

The tour is supported by various corporates, including Safaricom, NCBA, Betika, Kenya Airways, Visa, Britam and Johnnie Walker, whose continued support is helping strengthen professional golf in Kenya and create more opportunities for local players.
