The event was won by Kush Mediratta who scored 41 stableford points at the par-72 Sigona Golf Club.

Pal Choda was second on 39 points. Championship convener Nitin Nayak said Sh1.2m was realised at the event.

"The money is part of the Sh4 million we hope to raise to build a clinic for the people of Kihumbu-ini area in Gatanga constituency," said Bobby Virdee the Round Table Chairman.
