The seventh leg of the PGK Equator Tour at Sigona Golf Club concluded in a dramatic fashion on Sunday, with a spectacular showdown between brothers Njoroge Kibugu and Mutahi Kibugu.
In a fiercely contested final round, it was the younger brother, Njoroge Kibugu, who secured his maiden PGK Equator Tour title. He carded a superb four-round total of 279 (9-under-par), finishing just one stroke ahead of his elder brother.
Safaricom sponsored golfer Mutahi Kibugu posted an impressive score of 280 (8-under-par) to tie for second place with his Safaricom teammate, Samuel Njoroge.
The intensity of the family battle was palpable. “It was amazing playing against my brother,” said Njoroge Kibugu. “I was a bit tense, especially when he overtook me around hole 9, but I managed to compose myself and recover. Our family was so happy, cheering and rallying behind us. For them, it didn’t matter who won, it was about the great game we played and the healthy pressure we put on each other.”
Mutahi Kibugu echoed the sentiment about the high level of competition. “I would say this has been one of the most competitive tournaments so far. Going head-to-head with my brother Njoroge was incredible, everyone brought their A-game, despite the pressure. What really matters is the quality of golf we all played… As Team Safaricom, this is a fantastic result. We continue to lead the overall standings, and with two legs remaining, we’re aiming to finish at the top.”
