He closed with another 75 on Sunday to finish four shots clear of Sigona’s Aarush Vara, who carded rounds of 74, 71 and 78 for a total of 223.
“I am very happy to have won here at Kenya Railways. The 67 on Saturday gave me a good position going into the final round, and although today was not as comfortable, I managed to stay focused and get the job done. Winning my second KAGC event of the season gives me a lot of confidence as we head into the remaining tournaments,” he said.
