The home Club’s Khana thanked the sponsor Britam, the Club an all his playing partners for the success of the day’s tournament, saying he was indeed humbled.
“To be standing here as the overall winner after many months, is a big surprise and a great honor.
I’d like to dedicate this win to my family who supports me, to all the golfers here and my caddy for reading the greens well and keeping me calm. The course was in great condition, the organization was smooth and you made the day very enjoyable for all of us. Golf is a tough game and to come out on top today, I was lucky, but also had to fight for every shot. The competition was very strong and I didn’t come here expecting to win overall, but just to enjoy the game, enjoy the company and enjoy Nyali.
I look forward to defending this title next year, thank you, “said Khana.
