IN A tidy round of golf, William Walker took first place in last Saturday’s Lusignan Golf Club tournament. Walker shot a near impeccable front nine of 36 – one over par – then proceeded to bogey the next six holes.
However, an inspired four iron from 200 yards on the number 15 landed a mere foot from the cup for a tap in birdie.
Then on the par five number 16, pressing too hard for another birdie, he pulled his fairway drive badly only for the ball to fortuitously hit a tree and land in the fairway bunker.
He went on to par the remaining three holes for a back nine 39 and a gross 75, net 68.
It was enough to secure victory over Ramesh Amrud’s 81 gross, net 69, who had a better back nine than Patrick Prashad’s 76 net 69 which included 11 pars in a row.
This week’s tournament is sponsored by Torginol Paints and will be followed by Scotiabank on April 28.
