Kelani who first won the Championship in 2023 fired 21 over par in the three-day tournament to win the overall trophy and the Green Jacket on Sunday evening.

Speaking shortly after receiving his trophy and Green Jacket, Kelani said that he was now happy redeeming his pledge to return to winning ways at the tournament

From 100 players in the first two days, only 39 players made the cut to the final day. Kelani gave kudos to the management of the club for elevating the Championship to a three-day tournament to enable players earn points for amateur rankings.
