In the third round, Basalaine shot 8 over par 80 while Kamulindwa, Asaba and Okong returned 84, 87 and 91 respectively.

During the final round, Basalaine and Okong fired three over par 75 each while Asaba and Kamulindwa carded 9 over par 81 each for the 231 which gave them an all rounds total of 975 gross.

South Africa retained its crown and won Gold, Morocco finished 2nd and took Silver while Kenya finished fourth, one shot behind Uganda.
