Daniel Nduva staged a brilliant back‑nine rally to win the NCBA Royal Classic at Royal Nairobi Golf Club, his maiden Sunshine Development Tour title.
The Nyali pro overcame a shaky front nine — bogeys at 1 and 8 plus a double on 7 — before firing five birdies in the closing stretch to finish on 3‑under 213. He earned KES 400,000 from the KES 2 million purse.

Six players tied for second at 1‑under 215, including John Lejirma, Celestin Nsanzuwera, David Wakhu, Greg Snow, Adel Balala, and Sunday Olapade. Each collected KES 114,833.
The 96‑player event was the second leg of the East Africa Swing, following Nsanzuwera’s Thika win. Next stop: Vetlab Sports Club, 14‑16 June.
