It was a tough start for Kenya’s junior team during the opening round of the All Africa Junior Team Golf Championship at the Lake Victoria Serena Resort in Kigo on Monday.

The best out of the four boys was Krish Shah, who shot 80 gross, three shots better than Lee Kimathi, while team captain Junaid Manji brought 87 and Mikael Kihara was on 91 gross.

Leading the girls’ team was Channelle Wangari, who fired 80 to finish three shots better than Belinda Wanjiru, while Audrey Gachora posted 88.

“I hit brilliant shots in most of the holes, though attacking the pins was not easy, while reading the lines was a big challenge for me,” said Wanjiru.
