There were celebrations after the yellow zone team pairs emerged overall winners in the 2024 Eileen Becher Golf tournament that ended at the par 71 Muthaiga Golf Course in Nairobi County on Sunday evening.

The Yellow zone pairs of Emma Pennington and Mercy Nyanchama clinched the A division category trophy after beating Blue Zone pairs of Kelie Gachaga and Maria Torrado on hole-7.

This was through a sudden death playoff necessitated after both had tied on 13 points each at end of the normal match.

“I have to tell you that today has been the biggest highlight in my whole golfing time. I have enjoyed this weekend so much, irrelevant of winning (which always makes things good). We had the best pairing and excellent team work. The play off made us nervous but we nailed it,”said Pennington who is also the team Captain.
