Kenya’s Jastus Madoya is the winner of this year’s 2021 Uganda Open Golf Championship.
Madoya who also won the event in 2019 brought a 13 under par round total of 271 gross to claim the title at Entebbe Golf Club Course in Uganda yesterday.
“I love Entebbe and the course, its green all over and nice weather. My first round of 65 gross motivated my game to the last round, though the final round was not so good. But I am happy for the win and will always look forward to coming back to Uganda,” Madoya said.
His countrymate Dismas Indiza finished second with a round total of 276 gross, two strokes ahead of the event’s defending champion Robson Chinhoi from Zimbabwe who scored a total 288 gross.
