LIKE a skilled surgeon, Patrick Prashad dissected the back nine of Lusignan Golf Club on Saturday to stitch up victory in the Woodlands Hospital Golf Tournament. After a disastrous front nine, 42 Prashad shot a stunning 33 on the back nine including an eagle and two birdies. It was enough to card the day’s best gross 75 and best net 68.
Club president Brian Hackett shot 95 for a net 68 and second place and third place went to the long driving Mikey Mangal with a 78, net 69.
The turnout for the event was a field of 29.
Member Hilbert Shields was instrumental in gaining the hospital’s sponsorship through his friend Billy Fung-a-Fatt and in remarks he spoke of the doctor’s interest of the game and his pledge to sponsor an annual tournament.
Hackett in turn thanked Shields for helping to arrange the event.
