DEFENDING Guyana Open female golf champion Joann Deo took top honours in the Maersk Sealand golf tournament held last Saturday at the Lusignan Golf Club.

Playing off a 21 handicap, Deo shot a Gross 86 for a Net 65.
Second place went to Azrudeen Shaw who also accumulated a Gross 86, with a Net 68 easing out Robert Hanoman who recorded a Gross 96 and a Net 68 off a handicap of 28.
As was the case in the previous week, short rough made it another good day for the high handicappers who were not penalised for wayward shots.
Best Gross went to Patrick Prashad with a 79, and Nearest to the Pin went to Bholawram Deo.
In comments at the presentation ceremony Maersk Sealand’s Country Manager Derek Stoby said the shipping line was happy to sponsor the tournament as part of the company’s belief that sport should be a part for a well-balanced and healthy life style.
As such, he assured members this would be an annual event.
