Thika’s Sullivan Muthugia took advantage of the absence of some key players to take an early lead at the KCB Golf Tour at the par 73 Nakuru Golf Club.
Muthugia who two weeks ago finished second at the annual Bujumbura Open, ensured his progress in the season when he notched a first round score of two under par 71 to carry a slight single shot lead to Friday’s second round.
Royal’s Charan Thethy who made a last minute withdrawal from the Zambia Open was second after the first round on one under par 72, while Order of Merit favourite Nicholas Rokoine of Muthaiga, home pro Richard Ainley and Vet Lab’s Ali Kimani tied in the third spot on one over par 74.
Simon Ngige who won the last leg at Royal was among the noticeable absentees at the tournament as he is featuring at the Nigeria Open together with Vet Lab’s Brian Njoroge. Royal’s Anil Shah is taking part at the Zambia Open. Both the international tournaments are taking part at the same time. nike air max hombre nike air max hombre
