REIGNING National Open champion Imran Khan won last weekend’s Edward Ajodha-sponsored Stableford Golf tournament at the Lusignan Golf Course (LGC) on Saturday.

Khan who won the championship flight at last year’s Smirnoff Open championships recorded 40 points to emerge victorious from a field of 25 golfers last Saturday after the recent inclement weather had forced the postponement of the tournament the previous week.

Alfred Mentore, another championship flight player, secured the second position with 37 points followed by Ayube Ally who finished in third place with 37 points.

Colin Ming carted off two prizes – Nearest to the Pin and Best Net on the front Nine.

The tournament was sponsored by Attorney-at-Law and Chartered Accountant Edward Ajodha, who is an ardent golf player who has been very supportive of activities at the LGC.

Officials of the club expressed gratitude to Ajodha for his support in sponsoring the event and helping to raise funds for the upkeep of the facilities at Lusignan.

Meanwhile, the local players continue their preparation for the Suriname Open set for next month in the neighbouring Republic.

Already more than 12 players have indicated their interest in participating in the Suriname Open.
