Saidi Kirarira carded an overall 64 net to win the November MTN Monthly Tees tournament at Entebbe Club on Saturday.

Despite topping the ladies’ competition over the weekend, Rukia Nalwoga remains fifth in the ladies’ order of merit with 570 from her best 8 scores over the last 11 rounds, with one to go.
It is instead Esther Aganyira, who is on 537 net from her best 8, who took over leadership from Peace Hellen, who topped the ladies group B on Saturday. Hellen remains second with 543 nett from her best eight, as Edith Wamalwa (561) and Maxi Byenkya (566) remain third and fourth, respectively.
