Odillo, who also won the nearest to the pin prize, was ecstatic in his victory speech.
“It was wonderful and exciting day. Thank God I won this tournament. I put a lot of dedication. I’m so pleased that I played extremely well, my best shot was on hole number four and from then on I was just on top of my game.

 
“I also won two clubs, so generally it was a good day. I thank Standard Bank for the wonderful tournament,” said Odillo
Head of information technology at Standard Bank, William Nuka, thanked the golfers for patronising the tournament in large numbers. He said the objective of the competition was to interact and share experience.

 
“This is a platform where we share with our customers most of whom are golfers on the new developments at the bank like our services and products. It is also an opportunity for the customers to share their experiences of our services. It is basically about interaction,” said Nuka.
