Muthaiga Golf Club’s Jay Sandhu beat a field of 57 leading golfers at the par 72 Royal Nairobi Golf Club course, to claim the 2022 Uhuru Shield golf tournament on Sunday.
Sandhu, who has been a regular player at Royal where he started his golfing career though he is a member of Muthaiga, posted an impressive final round two under 70, to beat Kenya Railway Golf Club’s James Kamenchu by a whole 10 shots. Starting with three over par on Friday’s first round, Sandhu moved to the top after posting one under par 71 in the second round on Saturday.
“My game has been very good as I am hitting the ball pretty well though my putting has not been 100 per cent. All the same, I am very happy winning the Uhuru Shield because it has put me at a fairly safe place for next year’s Magical Kenya Open,’’ said Sandhu who plays well at Royal particularly where the course is 
a bit wet.
