DP World Tour : Magical Kenya Open Entry List Results
Its never easy mentally to follow up a really low round, with another, is so often the case, and when you do, you often are the winner.
Aaron Cockerill posted the low round of the day on Saturday -8 62. Early this morning in a lightning delayed Sunday on the Karen GC he had 3 bogey's and a birdie out in +2 37, however a very steady back nine, all pars with 3 birdies for -1 32 and a final tally 66 69 62 69 -14 T18.
With 3 missed cuts in 5 starts this season, and all the excitement of new daughter Tegan's arrival on January 31st this is a great start to his 2026 season worth $44.898 cdn and a 43 place move to #106 in the Race to Dubai points.

Casey Jarvis won his maiden DP World Tour title as he rounded off a wire-to-wire success at the 2026 Magical Kenya Open presented by absa.
The South African, who had shared the lead after each of the first three rounds, held off playing partner Davis Bryant in a final round twice interrupted by stormy conditions in Nairobi.
Jarvis had six birdies and rounded off his round of 62 with a second eagle of the day to win by three strokes -25.
Jarvis began with three birdies and a bogey in his first four holes to reach -19, still one clear of compatriot Hennie Du Plessis.
Another gain came at the sixth, with Bryant pouring in three in a row from the fifth to stay on his tail as Jarvis reached the turn one ahead.
Bryant coolly slotted his birdie at the 11th but Jarvis brilliantly eagled the 12th, perfectly judging his putt up the steep slope in front of the green to move two up with six to play, moments before the hooter went to bring the players in as thunder rolled.
The American was back within one after a birdie at the next and another stoppage arrived with the leading pair having teed off on the 17th where Jarvis eventually made a birdie, to Bryant's par, so he was two clear with one to play.
That cleared the stage for Jarvis, who found the fairway and then the green in exemplary fashion on the 18th before rolling in a 15-foot eagle putt to round off a momentous week in style.
The 22-year-old said: "It's amazing, I've actually never won in front of my dad before, I've wanted to win in front of him so badly, and to finally do it when he's here, I can't explain to you the emotions.
"I was so nervous coming down the last two so yeah, it feels great.
"There's not many words that can describe the feeling, I also wish my mum was here but she's back home in the UK. But it's unbelievable, he's been with me through the ups, through the downs. I know this moment doesn't happen often so we're going to celebrate it properly tonight."
The celebrations can now begin in earnest and the Jarvis added: "Only a four-hour flight to Joburg – I feel sorry for the people on the plane because I feel like it’s going to be pretty loud!"
Bryant's birdie left him second outright on -22 ahead of Du Plessis -21 and then Laporta -20. Jacob Skov Olesen's 65 left him -19 along with Kimsey, whose fellow Englishman Matthew Jordan shot 62 to vault up to 7th.
Defending champion Jacques Kruyswijk followed three straight 67s with a 65 to finish -14 and securely in the top 20.
