—Persaud, eight-time Guyana Cup champion, settles for third place

MAHENDRA Bhagwandin opened his 2018 season by winning the Lusignan Golf Club’s (LGC) Trophy Stall-sponsored tournament on Saturday at the club’s facility, Lusignan, East Coast Demerara.

In conditions which, according to some golfers, were very difficult, Bhagwandin registered a Gross 88 and Net 66 to cart off top honours, ahead of Pandit Ravi who scored a gross 88 and Net 70, and Guyana Cup Open eight-time champion, Avinash Persaud, who returned a Gross 70. Mike Mangal ended fourth with a Gross of 81 and Net 68.
The Nearest to the Pin award went to Haresh Tiwari.

LGC’s president Aleem Hussain, speaking at the simple presentation ceremony, thanked the golfers for coming out and participating in the Trophy Stall tournament, which was the first for the year, and noted that the golf season in Guyana does not start until the middle of the year, but he and his team worked to ensure that this year’s season teed off during the first month of the year and promised that there will be yet another tournament before the end of January.
The club also inducted five new members, including international and popular Guyanese designer, Sonia Noel.
Chief Executive Officer of MARCORP, Jorge Medina, was on hand to assist with the presentation of prizes to the respective winners.
