Hot on the heels of competing as part of the Kenyan Team in South Africa during the All-Africa Junior Team Championship in April, Kenyan Juniors from Muthaiga Golf Club, Bianca Ngecu and Junaid Manji had only one month to do their school exams as well as prepare before heading to The Junior Open in Scotland to compete in what is one of the most prestigious Junior events in the world.

The two Juniors joined a field of 120 players aged between 12-16 years and drawn from 70 Countries to compete over three (3) days in the wet and windy conditions at the links course of Kilmarnock (Brassiere) Golf Club in Scotland that was hosting the Junior Open from 15th-17th July 2024.
