Ugandans Abraham Ainamani and David Kamulindwa won a combined sh1.3m as the third leg of this season’s Safari Tour Golf Tournaments ended at the Sigona Golf Club on Wednesday, January 10. 

The Ugandans carded 295 and 296 gross over the two rounds, 18 and 19 strokes away from the winner, Kenyan Greg Snow who won with an 11-under 277. 

Ainamani and Kamulindwa finished 14th and 16th out of the 21 that made the cut, to pocket sh710,000/-  and sh590,000/-, in addition to 18 and 13 Safari Tour points respectively; to ensure they remain in contention for the top eight slots that will make it to the Magical Kenya Open due next month. 

After the Sigona leg which was the third round of this season’s Safari Tour, Ainamani is now eighth on the log on 80.5 points while Kamulindwa is 9th on 77 points from the three events thus far.
