MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: Dismas Indiza comes from a bunker in a past event. He failed to make the cut at the on going KCB Tour Grand Finale at Nyali Club.

Hard hitting Dismas Indiza found himself hit hard when he failed to make the cut for the first time in his career after the second round of the on going KCB Tour’s Grand Finale at the par 71 Nyali Golf and Country Club.

It was indeed a big surprise for the Mumias golfer, given that he had a mathematical chance of retaining the Order of Merit title that he won last year.

Thursday’s round saw 25 pros fail to make the cut which stood at +13 (155). Indiza played 15 over after the two rounds, missing the cut by two shots.
“Its really painful. I have never missed a cut since I joined professional ranks,” said Indiza.
The on going event at Nayli has been a true test for golfers given the windy conditions experienced so far. bijoux pandora pas cher bijoux pandora pas cher

GOING FOR GOLD: Muthaiga’s Nicholas Rokoine in action. He currently enjoys a nine shot lead at the KCB Tour finale.

On form Nicholas Rokoine seem to be running away with the Professional Golfers of Kenya (PGK) Order of Merit title after he opened a massive nine shot lead after the second round of this year’s KCB Tour Grand Finale at the par 71 Nyali Club on Thursday.

The Muthaiga pro who enjoyed a first round lead on Wednesday, tightened his grip on the lead with another cameo performance in the second round to enjoy a comfortable nine shots lead on six under par 168 with two rounds to go.

Nakuru’s David Wakhu, Vet Lab’s Brian Njoroge and Rwandese E.Ruterana shared the second position on three over par 144, while PGK chairman Riz Charanis, Golf Park’s Jacob Okelo and John Kagiri tied on four over par 145.

The chase for the Order of Merit title had been cut down to Rokoine, Simon Ngige, Charania and Dismas Indiza, but it now seems impossible to snatch it away from the mouth of Rokoine.
