Royal Nairobi Golf Club’s Kenneth Bollo is this year’s winner of the prestigious Uhuru Shield title after recovering in the final round to beat his closest opponent Jay Sandhu by five shots at the par 72 Royal Club.

The international player playing off scratch made amends to his poor strat in the competition to rule the roost after 54-holes, posting a total of 221 (75, 74, 72) and in the process picked crucial 24 points towards the Golfer Of The Year (GOTY) rankings.

Sandhu also of Royal settled for second position on a score of 226 (74, 74, 78) while Justus Madoya of Great Rift Valley was third on 228 (79, 79, 70) tying with J. Kubwa (73, 77, 78).

Reigning Goty winner and the current leader John Karichu of Limuru finished in a disappointing 12th position on 238 (81, 77, 80).
