Jay Sandhu successfully defended his Kenya Amateur Strokeplay Championship title after defeating Mombasa's Adel Balala in a dramatic three-hole play-off at the Royal Nairobi Golf Club.
The two golfers finished tied on three-over-par 291 after four rounds, forcing a play-off at holes 10, 11 and 18 to determine the champion and secure qualification for the 2027 Magical Kenya Open.
Balala recovered from an opening round of three-over-par 75 with scores of 72, 69 and 75, but squandered a three-shot lead in the final round after carding a triple bogey on the 18th hole.
Sandhu posted rounds of 70, 77, 71 and 73 to force the play-off before sealing victory with a birdie and two pars.
