Jacques Kruyswijk won the Kenya Open at Nairobi’s Muthaiga Golf Club on Sunday, edging John Parry by two shots to hoist his first European tour title.
The 32 South African entered Sunday’s finale holding a one-stroke lead and extended it to two strokes after a final-round 67 to reach 18-under-par 266, completing a bogey-free weekend with four birdies Sunday.
“I’m super proud of myself with the mindset I’ve had this week and the way I’ve played this golf course,” Kruyswijk said. “What can I say? I’m happy.”
England’s Parry, 38, had led after the first two rounds but had to settle for the runner-up prize after an errant tee shot on the 14th saw him bogey the hole and let Kruyswijk get away.
Parry finished with a 68 for a four-round total of 268.
