Nine Kenyan professionals booked their way to this year’s Magical Kenya Open to be held at Karen Country Club course from March 14 to 17.

Out of the six tournaments, the Muthaiga pro took maximum points in four of the six events, to take top spot in the ranking.
Following Snow closely is Mumias Golf Club’s Dismas Indiza who amassed 111 points after a consistent performance in all the events though he was not able to win any of the legs.
