The 13-year-old handicap 8 golfer emerged the overall winner on a 17 differential points after carding a 38 nett and 21 stableford points in both nines of the medal and stableford formats.

“It’s an honour to have won this tourney and I take this opportunity to thank my parents and the club for their support over the last two years since I began playing golf," said Jamal.

Home club’s handicap 9 Mary Kandu, on 19 differential points (34-15), was the  runner-up, while handicap 8 Christine  Ockotch, who had 21 differential points (36-15), was third.
