With a near perfect Net Score of 65, Shaw displaced numerous top golfers as he continued his spanking form, as competition was so fierce, that after 2nd place there was a tussle between 3 golfers for 3rd place followed by another tussle between 2 golfers that would have been for 7th place. The 3rd place winner was determined from a count of the ‘back nine’ scores.
Saturday’s winners featured the likes of: Lakeram Ramsundar – Nearest The Pin; (current and 3 times Guyana Open Champion) Avinash Persaud – Best Gross and Longest Drive and third best net going to former Guyana Open Champion Mike Mangal (71/8), 3rd Best Net; Patrick Prashad (68/9), 2nd Best Net and Shaw (65/16) Best Net.
The next close ten Net performances were done by (President) Aleem Hussain (71/12 – 4th place); Richard Haniff (71/12 – 5th place); Persaud (72/2); (2 times former Guyana Open Champion) Mohanlall Dinanauth (72/6); Gavin Todd (73/18); (former Guyana Open Ladies Champion) Shanella London (74/16); Clifford Reis (74/23); Kassim Khan (76/9); Lakeram Ramsundar (77/11); and Guillermo Escarraga (77/24).
Prior to Tee-off, BACIF General Manager, Peter Pompey, along with Commercial & Design Superintendent, Yolanda Geddes-Kendall; Machine Shop Superintendent, Kwesi Craig; and Technical Assistant to the GM, Adrian Barkoye, indulged in some golf action.
