Nairobi \u2014 KigaliThree rounds leader Greg Snow made a bogey at the home green after a poor second shot, but still walked away with the KCB Rwanda Open title at the par 72 Kigali Golf Club course on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Fighting a neck and neck battle with Dismas Indiza and Ali Kimani, the Serena Hotels-sponsored Snow, who won the second leg of this year’s KCB East Africa Golf Tour at his home course Muthaiga in March, bogeyed the third and sixth holes, then birdied the fourth, seventh and ninth.<\/p>\n

He picked up two quick birdies at the 10th and 12th and stayed on course until the 18th where he hit a massive driver to about 170 to the green.<\/p>\n

Snow however hit probably his worse shot of the tournament, pitched on for a three but missed a footer for a par to finish on two under par 70 and an all rounds total of 11 under par 277 to win by six shots from the Mumias Sugar-sponsored Indiza who finished off with a birdie at the 18th for one over par 73 and a total of five under par 283.<\/p>\n

The final round was not his best as after making three birdies at the front nine against two back to back double bogeys.<\/p>\n

He double-bogeyed the 11th and dropped one more shot at the 13th, though he recovered some shots at the 10th, and 16th and later at the 18th where he over shot the green on two, chipped back to about a foot, to claim the second prize.<\/p>\n

Richard Ainley shot three under par 69 in the final round for a total of four under par 284 to finish third and just a shot away from fourth placed Ali Kimani who like Indiza, fired one over par 73 in the closing round.<\/p>\n

Crowned round with a birdie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ainley crowned his round with a birdie at the 18th in addition to four others on the back having however dropped shots at the first, fourth, seventh and eighth against birdies at the third and ninth.<\/p>\n

In fifth place was Brian Njoroge who fired one under 71 for a total of one over par 289.<\/p>\n

Rwanda’s Emmanuel Ruterana tied in sixth place with Hardeep Thethy on 290. Ruterana shot 75 and Thethy 71 in the final round.<\/p>\n

The other local pro, Jean Baptiste, was on his own in eighth place with 291 after a 73 and Royal Nairobi’s Anil Shah and Nicholas Rokoine concluded the top 10 on 292.<\/p>\n

The sixth leg of the KCB East Africa Tour will take place at Nakuru Golf Club in two weeks.<\/p>\n
