GOLF Foreign golfers in awe of Mutahi Kibugu's style of play at the Magical Kenya Open
Two foreign golfers have expressed their admiration towards the style of play that Kenyan youngster Mutahi Kibugu's style of play despite being knocked in the early stages.
He now carries the hopes of East Africa since he is the only one who made it to the final list despite Kenya fielding 13 golfers, including last year’s hero Mutahi Kibugu.
Day One saw the Ugandan score a one-over Par 72 then on Day Two he scored a one-under Par 70 before scoring a level Par on Day Three.
“I’m the first Ugandan to make the cut and at the moment, I think it’s not about me as a player or Uganda as my country but right now everything that I’m doing is for East Africa," he said.
“As we speak now, I’m the only East African to make the cut and everything I’m doing now is for East Africa."
Before the Ugandan took on the tough course, there was a heavy downpour that forced his tee off time to be pushed forward.
He admitted that the first three holes were challenging on his side but it had nothing to do with the poor weather.

GOLF Inexperience the major undoing for Kenyan golfers ahead of Magical Kenya Open
Coast-based golfer Daniel Nduva fears that inexperience might cost Kenyan golfers ahead of the Magical Kenya Open set to tee off on Thursday.
“Honestly, when you look at my game in the first three holes, the weather wasn’t that nice but then again from the time I moved to South Africa, the first tournament I played on the wind and it was -1," he added.
“The second tournament was in Durban and the weather was also the same. When it comes to the weather, I have been tested enough and I’ve played in tougher conditions than it was, so for me it was okay,” he said.
He also insisted that he wants to achieve something more than just making the cut and he is looking forward to hitting his targets.
