One of the most anticipated golf events on the continent, the Magical Kenya Open, is set to take place this month.
You might be wondering when, where and how you will get to watch the mouth-watering golf showdown that Kenya is privileged to host in March.
Eight Kenyans will represent the country during the Kenya Open that is scheduled to take place from March 12-15 at Karen Country Club in Nairobi.
The Kenyans were selected after rigorous qualifying 11-round series at the Safari Golf Tour.
Simon Ngige was Kenya’s highest-ranked player with a dramatic final day display.
This year, Standard Group with its flagship brand, KTN News, are the official broadcast partners with The Standard Newspaper expected to provide riveting coverage of the show-stopper golf tournament in Africa.
Italy's Guido Migliozzi became the second Italian to win the 2019 edition presented by ABSA.
Migliozzi's victory was the second successive win by an Italian after Lorenzo Gagli won in 2018.
Migliozzi waded off stiff challenge from South African Justin Hardin, who carded a closing -15-under 66, tied on second place finish with compatriot Louis De Jager.
It was his first European Tour win and indeed first top 10 on any major circuit, having graduated through Qualifying School, prior to which his three victories had all come on the Alps Tour.
Migliozzi showed no sign of nerves as he reached the 18th leading by one, with his second shot into the par four hitting the flag. From there he two-putted to secure victory.
