Kacungira and Katutsi Crowned Stanbic Match Play Champions as Bank Renews Entebbe Golf Partnership

What the report says

Sam Kacungira and Vincent Katutsi won the 2026 Stanbic Entebbe Match Play Championship after a dramatic sudden-death playoff at Entebbe Golf Club, edging Richard Mwami and Tony Kisadha on the 21st hole. Watchdog Uganda reported that the final capped about five months of competition on the par-71 lakeside course and featured repeated swings in momentum before the champions closed out their first Stanbic Match Play title.

According to the report, Kacungira and Katutsi built an early advantage, went 2-up after the ninth hole, then saw Mwami and Kisadha recover and move ahead late in the match. A key shot by Kacungira on the 18th forced extra holes, and the pair then survived three more playoff holes before sealing the win. The tournament also handed out secondary prizes, including travel packages for runners-up and other placed teams, plus a wider rewards package for the champions.

The article says the result came alongside an announcement from Stanbic Bank Uganda that it will renew its sponsorship of the Entebbe Match Play Tournament. Ronald Makata, the bank’s chief financial officer, linked the partnership to broader community investment and said the bank wants sport to help create opportunities beyond the game itself. The report also notes Stanbic’s Positive Impact Agenda, which focuses on financial inclusion, jobs, climate resilience and livelihoods, showing why the sponsorship matters beyond golf.
