The NCBA Bank sponsored Windsor Classic concluded on Sunday at the par 72 Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club, with Elvis Muigua emerging victorious, marking his third consecutive win in the Kenya Amateur Golf Championships (KAGC).

The Kiambu Golf Club player was on top of his game throughout the three-day tournament, securing the title by a margin of two shots over his closest competitor, Michael Karanga.

Muigua's stellar performance was marked by three crucial birdies at the first nine’s 3rd, 6th, and 9th holes to cancel an earlier bogey at the 4th. And despite dropping a shot at the 14th, 17th and 18th, he still managed to close the day level par 72 which gave him a three rounds total of 4-over-par 220.

Reflecting on his achievement, Muigua attributed his success to a stable swing and valuable lessons gained during his time in South Africa.

In the closely contested battle, Karanga’s displayed remarkable resilience despite facing setbacks during the final round. Despite recording five birdies on the front nine, bogeys on the first, sixth, and seventh holes proved costly, ultimately securing him the second position with a final score of 222 gross.

Claiming the third spot was Ebill Omollo of Vetlab Sports Club with a total score of 227.
