Brian Glasford was nearest-to-the-pin, while Richard Hanif shot the longest drive (315 yards) when the curtains came down on a day.
Robert Hiscock, Heineken Brand Manager, said that Ansa McAl Trading was more than please to host the tournament again this year and is looking forward to an even bigger event in 2017.
Hiscock applaud the Lusignan Golf Club for having what he described as Guyana’s best kept sporting facility, which he said was a testimony to the club’s seriousness about the sport.
