The Surinamese Golf Club Greens in Paramaribo were set alight last weekend as 22 Guyanese invaded Dutch shores as they sought to fine-tune themselves for Guyana’s premier golfing extravaganza, which will tee off in November. Deo, a former Guyana Open champ, led the way in the Female Category finishing with a score of 79 over 18 holes for her 42 points.
Forty of Deo’s points were acquired on the first day as she went on to tally 82 points over the two days. Another former Guyana Open winner, Shanella Webster also got some form going as she ended in second place with her two-day aggregate of 75 points.
Deo broke 18 holes for the first time, securing her lowest Gross.
In the male category, seasoned Guyanese pro Bridgelall Harry won the B flight Handicap14-24 while Videsh Persaud calmly finished second in the C Flight as current Guyana Open champion Avinash Persaud, who was tied for second place in the top flight on Saturday, was ousted on Sunday by the competition.
