As the league progresses, players continue to battle for valuable points in pursuit of the Tour #2 title.

Although the rainy season has brought persistent rainfall in recent weeks, the Lusignan Golf Club course was presented in exceptional condition thanks to the tireless efforts of Grounds Superintendent Brian Hackett and the dedicated maintenance staff.

Mike Mangal finished a close second with a net 73, while the remainder of the field continued to accumulate valuable points in the race for the overall standings.
Special prize winners also showcased their individual talents, with Maxim ”Danny” Mangra claiming the Nearest-to-the-Pin award and Anand Persaud capturing the Longest Drive prize.
