Speaking on behalf of BK International, Office Manager Egan Bazilio said the company was happy to support the club as part of diversifying its sponsorship of sports.
Also sharing his sentiments after the tournament was LGC Public Relations Officer (PRO) William Walker who said, “The BK tournament showcased a competitive field or 28 golfers taking the field, each improving their game for the upcoming Guyana Open. However, the next tournament we have in the line-up is sponsored by Massy Group and is set for this Saturday, 10 September.”
