Kibuna walked home with the top prize after
outsmarting a host of big name golfers in Division A, including Brand
Michael and Mohabe Nyirabu.
Playing off handicap- 8, the golfer, who showed some fabulous skills, fired eight over 36 points at the 18-hole tournament.
Michael, who was tipped to take the battle for the
title with the victor to the wire, managed just 31 points, thus
settling for the second spot.
Speaking ecstatically after the tournament, Kibuna
said: “My composure paid off, I am really happy with this win because
it was tough considering the quality of golfers who were there.
“I am satisfied with the way I played. My score on
Saturday was impressive and that’s why I finished at the top of the
pack,” he said.
The golfer added: “Even when I was playing well I
couldn’t relax because Michael was playing so well. The competition was
really tight, but I just enjoyed playing with my friends.”
The 18-hole stable ford tournament saw Joseph
Tairo, who was playing off handicap 12, take the B Division title after
carding 36 points followed by Boniface Nyiti with 35 points.
Nade Magwe was the winner of the C Division with
30 points, eclipsing Prayoon Pongtrakul who took the second position
after returning 27 points.
Up-and-coming Sophie Mathias was the heroine in
the ladies event with 32 points, eclipsing Amina Hamis who took the
second position after carding 24 points.
“I dropped several shots today [Saturday] especially at the par three eleventh hole. That really cost me the points,” she said.
“Right now I have a desire to become the best
golfer in the country, so I want to concentrate on training and just try
to win the forthcoming tournaments,” she added.
