Seven back to back pars on 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th respectively and the only dropped shot on second nine on the par 4- thirteenth hole.
“I opted for a 4-iron on all my tee shots on pars four and five which kept my balls on the fairway. At least I was always on with two or three shots and a maximum of two putts. The green keeper made the greens very difficult for putting and therefore it wasn’t an easy play though but I managed”, said Muteithia on receiving his prize from Mustek East Africa Goup CEO Cornie Combrink.
