“I found the greens very fast but the
weather favored my fairway play
compared to Nyali where strong ocean winds are a bother. I always
opted for a 4 iron on downhill fairways which enabled my tee-shots to
be on the fairways. “Said Nduva after receiving his prize and trophy
from Crown Paints, Rakesh Rao.
