John Lejirma Dominates Golf Scene with Recent Wins
John Lejirma, an amateur golfer from the Royal Nairobi Golf Club, has been on a roll recently, capturing significant attention in the golfing world for his outstanding performances. Fresh from a commanding 4-under-par victory at the NCBA Kisii Open Shabana Trophy, Lejirma took an early lead in the Sunshine Development Tour East Africa Swing’s Q-School at the Great Rift Valley Resort and Golf Club.
Lejirma’s Stellar Performance:
In the opening round of the Q-School, Lejirma showcased his skills with a 3-under-par score of 68, positioning himself one stroke ahead of Isaiah Otuke and Greg Snow, who were tied for second with a score of -2[1][3].
Competition Breakdown:
A notable highlight of the first round included three eagles achieved by Eric Ooko (on hole 11), Tony Omuli (on hole 6), and Mike Kisia (on hole 1)[1]. The competition was fierce, with Michael Karanga securing fourth place and pros Eric Ooko, Njoroge Kibugu, and Edwin Mudanyi tied for fifth at even par.
Lejirma’s strategy was straightforward, focusing on maintaining his current streak of subpar performances. “I believe I’m now playing at my peak,” he noted[1]. His experience at Kisii provided valuable momentum, as he sought to continue performing under par throughout the tournament.
