Entebbe, Uganda | PHILLIP CORRY | Saidi Kirarira completed the season by claiming the MTN Monthly Order of Merit award at Entebbe Club with a solid 64 nett on Saturday. He beat a field of 108 golfers on the 18-hole lakeside course.

“Of course, it feels great. You know, it’s never easy on the course. Consistency is key here and all we do is to chase it. I am glad that I managed to stay consistent all through the 11 rounds of action,” Kirarira said after the victory.

The handicap 9 golfer has played a solid round after round throughout the year with scores of 71, 72, 75, 65, 70, 68, 66, 69, 70, 74, and 64, with 543 for his best 8 in the year.

The MTN Ladies Order of Merit goes to the wire at the Grand MTN Mug of Mugs next month with a showdown between race leader Esther Aganyira and last year’s winner Peace Helen; they both have 537 and 543 after 8 rounds going into the finale.

Dickson Agaba claimed the Men’s Group A with 70 nett, Ronald Osekeny claimed Group B with 68 nett, and Musa Baguma was the winner of Group C with 67 nett.
