Muriithi shot a round total of 1-under 71 to prevail over 25 caddies who participated in six categories tournament presented by Father Herman Kiboi at the par-72 course.
 
In his category comprised of handicap 6 and below golfers, Muriithi edged out Peter Ndegwa who finished second with 72 nett also playing off handicap 5 by a stroke to take the top honours.
 
Muriithi attributed his good showing to a solid short game and hitting the fairways consistently despite a cold early morning round that saw him play with frozen hands which made it difficult to even hold the golf clubs well.
 
Though it became warmer, his game brightened up with the greens playing faster though as he tried to contain the erratic shots occasioned by the hard ground surface.
 
Winning in the second category for handicap 7-12 was John Nderitu who fired a round total of 4-over 76 beating Peter Nderitu on countback on a similar score of 76 nett. Caddy’s Captain 
Zachary Wachanga came in third on 83 nett.
 
Category three which was made up of golfers playing off between handicap 13 and 28 the top player was handicap20 Richard Kibicho who posted a 79 nett a stroke better than handicap 18 Simon Mwangi’s 81 nett.
