Like Kenya Open, ensure other sporting disciplines succeed

Success, as they say, has many fathers, but failure is an orphan. And what other apt example than the resounding success of the first ever European Tour golf tournament on Kenyan soil – the Magical Kenya Open at Karen Country Club last week.

The organisation was near perfect as some of the game's finest players from around the world descended on Nairobi to fight for Sh120 million prize. After four days of nerve-wracking action, the winner – Italy's Guido Migliozzi­ – carted away a Sh20.5 million bounty.
