Justin Harding holds on to win Kenya Open

<p>NAIROBI, Kenya &mdash; Justin Harding held on to his overnight lead to win the European Tour’s Kenya Open by two shots with a 5-under 66 in the final round on Sunday.</p>
<p>The South African had a two-shot overnight lead and didn’t relinquish that to claim his second tour title. He finished 21 under overall.</p>
<p>Harding had three birdies and an eagle but crucially didn’t drop a shot all day.</p>
<p>The closest he came to being caught was when playing partner Kurt Kitayama of the United States briefly cut Harding’s lead to one shot midway through the final round. </p>
<p>Kitayama had two eagles on the final day — at the par-5 Nos. 6 and 12 — but still finished with a 66 for second place.</p>
<p>Connor Syme was two further shots back in third on 17 under after closing with a 64. Sebastian Garcia Rodriguez (63) was another shot back in fourth. </p>
<p>Harding won the 2019 Qatar Masters, and he finished in a tie for second when the Kenya Open made its debut on the European Tour in 2019.</p>
