Ericv Karimi is the overall winner of the eighth and final leg of the Kengen golf tournament series.
Kirimi navigated the long and challenging VetLab Sports Club course, carding a score of 42 stableford points to beat 256 corporate and guest golfers.
“I started on the back nine, where I had a good sail, and my partners threatened to report me to the captain, claiming that I had a fake handicap since, to them, I was playing better than a handicap 25. Again, on the front nine, I had an equally great showing, which cemented my win for the day,” said Kirimi.
The tournament was hosted at eight other venues and attracted a total of 1232 golfers from across the country.
