Atlantic JZ Energy Inc Best Ball 2-Player Scramble:

Stunning final-hole performance spurs Videsh and Patanjilee Persaud to title
An eagle (two under par) on the final hole of the Atlantic JZ Energy Inc 2-Player Scramble spurred Videsh Persaud and Patanjilee “Pur” Persaud to championship honours in the latest competition at the Lusignan Golf Club (LGC).

The players were able to hold their nerves on the par-five hole. Patanjilee teed off with a solid drive of approximately 280 yards which struck the middle of the fairway, while Videsh was on target with the second shot as it ended just three feet from the hole.

Pur made no mistake, which lifted his team to gross 67, net 59.
Off the course, former 10-time Guyana Open champion, Avinash Persaud and the capable Paton George were feeling confident, they had combined for an impressive score of 65 gross and 62 net, but they had to settle for second place in the competitive battle.

Kassim Khan and Ayube Subhan also played really well to finish third with a gross 67 and Net 63.
Also impressive were reigning Guyana Open champion, Avinda Kishore and his teammate, Jessel Mohammed, a former USA collegiate and professional golfer, who finished with a gross 62 after also recording an eagle on their scorecard.

Khan won the longest drive, while Pur won the closest to the pin award.
LGC Vice President George thanked the President of Atlantic JZ Energy Inc, Mr Mohammed for stepping up and sponsoring “this important event”.  He also thanked the talented golfer for his commitment to help grow the game in Guyana.  “Jessel’s contribution as a sponsor/player/promoter of the game of golf, being a former professional golfer is significant to golf in Guyana”.
In his closing remarks, Mohammed thanked the players for their participation and committed to further partnerships with the club and to promote the game at the junior level.
