Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club's Njoroge Kibugu returned a blemish-free scorecard, having shot a round of 8-under par, 64, to set an early marker on the opening day of the Thika Greens Golf Resort leg of the Sunshine Development Tour, East Africa Swing on Tuesday.

Kibugu carded eight birdies at the first, fourth, sixth, ninth, eleventh, twelfth and eighteenth to give him a four-stroke lead ahead of the chasing pack, led by Karen Country Club's Edwin Mudanyi, whose late charge up the leaderboard saw him finish on a score of 4-under par, 68.
