The 2024 Interbank Golf Tournament attracted 298 players from across the country who battled for glory at the par 72 Royal Nairobi Golf Club on Friday.
One of the players who was hopeful for victory is the 2019 lady winner Berline Okeyo.
“My aim is to reclaim the title, away from that I’m here to network and have fun with other players in the banking industry,” Okeyo told Standard Sports.
Playing off handicap 23, Wolfgang Omondi reiterated that the tournament gave him an opportunity to let out the pending steam from work.
