Kevin Dinanauth, who had not played in a tournament since the Guyana Open of November 2018, said after his victory, “I have been practising once a week, and today I determined to focus on my game and play well. And because the course is very encouraging to play, I was able to do well.”
Scoring a total of 4 birdies and 6 bogies, he ended the tournament 2 over par, obtaining the Best Gross as well as the Best Net score, and so emerging champion of the tournament.
The tournament was played in 3 flights, with prizes being awarded to the first two Net places in each flight. Prizes were also awarded to the Nearest to The Pin and Longest Drive winners.
