Her campaign teed off on August 7 at the Leisure Lodge course, where she finished seventh with a gross score of 86.
Despite tricky holes and the need to adjust to the greens, she stayed composed and focused on improving.
On August 8 at the Mombasa Front Course, Vicky delivered one of her best performances of the tournament, carding an impressive 76 gross to claim second place.
