The DP World Tour returns to Africa for the first time this year as Muthaiga Golf Club plays host to the fifth edition of the Magical Kenya Open. Rikuya Hoshino will be in the field and begins the week second on the Race to Dubai Rankings. He’s had a couple of strong weeks with a 12T finish at the Bahrain Championship and claimed victory last week at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters. Thriston Lawrence will also be in Kenya this week. The four-time DP World Tour winner has a good record in Africa winning the Joburg Open in 2021, before adding the Investec South African Open Championship a year later. He also started the season well registering no worse than a tie for 11th in his first three starts to the season. He also claimed 2T here in 2022. Ewen Ferguson will also fancy his chances this week. He’s claimed two top-10s over four tournaments to start the year including a 9T at last week’s Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.

A good what a shot that was world class boxy I think now go to Eddie peppol birdie attempt here just off the back Edge hit it hit it oh daylight robbery yeah Anoni for par oh good Heavens Richard box saw that feels like someone’s punched you in the stomach when that
Happens I’m going with the driver it’s a big carry for him to take both bunkers left and right out of plate and the Fairway between the two of them is about 10 Paces wide good swing is it yeah it really is look at the run on that left well over the road
Come on yes that is just brilliant what a Roar as well he’s got some fans out there good lad that was brilliant was it Ronald what a week you’re having congratulations on everything you’ve achieved so far let’s start with yesterday becoming the first Ugandan to
Make the cut on a DP World Tour event what does that mean to you well personally it means a lot to me uh sorry before I take you back I’m not the only yes I’m the first ugan to make the cut and I’m the first Ugandan to get a whole
New one on DP tour last year I got a I got a whole new one um coming into this years’s Kenya open uh personal I had a few targets to hit uh one I just playing more than just making the cut I mean if I I just making the
Cut I would be limiting my potential honestly uh I feel great I mean it’s h it’s amazing I there are no words that I can use to express how I feel I’m so grateful for Kenyans my fellow ugandans flew all the way so right now honestly
It’s not about me as a player it’s not about Uganda where I come from it’s about East Africa right now which and everything I’m doing I’m doing for East Africa can you share with us how you got into golf uh well honestly before I as a soccer player but my older brother used
To play golf so when I was a little kid about uh 105 he won one of the tournaments and and he was given a TV and a trophy so when he came home carrying a TV and a trophy as as like hey in golf when you
Win you win as as an individual whereas in soccer when you win a trophy anything you win you win as a team so since then I gave up on soccer and I started playing golf and have you watched a lot of professional golf on the television
And who’s been an inspiration for you uh uh without a doubt take outs uh I grow up watching take outs and uh everything I do I just look up to take outs I mean take outs without a doubt is the face of golf what does this platform mean to you
Can you put it into words what this opportunity means for you individually and for everyone you’ve spoken of uh honestly it’s more than I can imagine like I said it and everything I’m doing right now um I’m doing for my country um each and everything I post on social medias I
Always hash golfing to inspire so my first Dream as a player my first Dream my dream has been always to inspire people to inspire the upcoming golfers and uh I’d like to see a few years from now more ugandans playing on on big tour not only ugandans and East
Africans because I’ve been South Africa playing the sunshine tour I mean it’s amazing uh so my only dream is to inspire people to inspire the upcoming golfers I would really feel great like in the next few years when I see a few numbers from Uganda or East
Africa doing what I’m doing even doing better than what I’m doing that’s my number one dream you’re an inspiration no doubt well done so far and we wish you well tomorrow thank you thank you I’ll give you my best rug mayor now come on roll this one
In head was up a bit quick but he’s got it good lad some of the reaction to his part at the last and making it through to the weekend from the PGA Tour might mean as much to the people of Uganda as it does to Ronald and suddenly falo
Congratulations from him ball back in the stance if you want to call it that oh no could actually not have found a worse place to finish with that chip de third into the par five seventh oh a just a Pity about the spin oh what a gorgeous shot almost slam dunked
It here is yes for senson at six oh good effort let’s see if he can get this golf shot away shall we under the branches through the Gap to the dog leg oh that hits oh it’s come powering back with interest yeah I’ll go deep deep
Bunker P Felson oh oh happy days well that’ll get rid of the the NY thought he pulled his iron off the first he’s pulled it on the second but you do that the pain is gone this will really test you hard to control the trajectory when it’s on such a steep Downs slope
That was a shank it was a shank no there’s no I thinks about it it was you know he took that final waggle you could see he wasn’t comfortable with it face wide open on the down slope and shank you very much down here all the way green helping a little
Bit I didn’t get that one right he might be happy with that he’s he’s smiling but he’s not really found some trouble had 14 can he find a way to get it up near the green somehow near the green are you kidding me what a shot I think he had to
Try and turn that right to left as well didn’t he yeah and I think get a a low hook and velson playing with Ashley Chesters his second shot now at the sixth oh take that pick that one up what a shot that is hey with a big dog puling in on the T
For us of this eighth hole wind into off the left that’s not a spot to be that I’m afraid no did you see that come down boxy cuz I didn’t no well ver is at 5 under lch that down nicely go on he’s at six oh they’re looking up the tree
That’s not good news well you just could not write this I mean the branches on on this tree are spindly little things and somehow it looks like panin’s ball has perfectly balanced itself between two of them so we’re all having a good Gander off at the tree wondering
What next seriously unlucky that come the binoculars that is so unlucky there it is is that the the tiniest weakest Fork you could find well if it is is at least he gets to drop it down below where it is now and he can nudge it forwards for three R
You can it down as well obvious going to play like a black star black star this is where you need to get one of the other balls out your bag just so you can prove to the anyone here official that it is yours I know
It’s my ball you do okay do you need to identify or you you’re happy I’ll dou let’s be sure well he’s not going to play that there so you can I you can bring it down either way you can knock it down that’s it’s interesting but it’s also unbelievably bad luck incredible
Isn’t it it’s unbelievable and it went in there at 150 mph but that’s just a perfect example in the last 2 minutes of how not to knock it out of the trees this is the worst light you’re going to see this week it’s horrendous it’s like he’s in the ice plant ball
Below his feet oh really goug it wower that’s shot of the week without any doubt unbelievable from a horrendous Live dear oh dear a flat out shank sorry boys go keep going turn no great read great try you beauty it is the chip of a champion
