The South African registered eight birdies, dirtying his card only on the last hole with a bogey on the 9th.

From the low and sandy coast of the Indian Ocean, the territory of Kenya proceeds inland. Its geography is somewhat complex. It is located in East Africa and is crossed by the equator. Despite being an equatorial and tropical country, it has very varied climates. In the north there are desert areas and in the central and south plateaus with woods and savannas.

The nation is criss-crossed by long mountain ranges. The morphological element that most characterizes Kenya is the Rift Valley, which cuts it from north to south. The inland waters are represented by fresh and salt water lakes and numerous borax geysers and geysers. On the other hand, there are few rivers, of which only two have a noteworthy flow and length (the Tana and the Galana).

The coastal strip, over 400 km long, is followed by a region of arid plateaus and steppes; the central one, which rises to altitudes between 1,500 and 3,000 metres, is divided by the fracture of the Rift Valley which forms the basin of Lake Turkana (or Rodolfo). On the sides of the Rift Valley rise imposing volcanic massifs, the largest of which is Mount Kenya (5199 m), one of the highest in Africa, and Kilimanjaro (5358 m) on the border with Tanzania. The plateau slopes down to the west, near Lake Victoria, and to the north, where the territory is occupied by a large desert plateau.

Kenya's rivers are not massive; the two main ones, the Tana and the Galana, flow into the Indian Ocean and have a regime that varies greatly throughout the year, depending on the frequency of rainfall. The largest lake is Turkana, since only a small portion of Lake Victoria belongs to the territory of Kenya; Lake Turkana has brackish waters and numerous islands emerge from it.
