Army man Brigadier Joseph Muracia soldiered despite a recent Hippo invasion scare to win the Captain's Kitty overall prize at Thika Sports Club over the weekend.
There was a recent sighting of a rogue Hippopotamus in Muranga County. The Hippo, suspected to have come from dams from the nearby Pineapple plantations was sighted roaming within the par-73 layout at night and messed up some of its greens.
A response by Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) personnel to track and capture it was unsuccessful twice!
Muracia, playing off handicap 20, collected a whooping 41 stableford points to claim the top prize.
The Men winner prize was won by a handicap 17, SM Kibuiya, on a compact score of 40 stableford points, followed by the Men winner second, Moses Gatonye, who inked 36 stableford points.
