The towering three handicapper amateur was in for 20 points after earlier reaching the turn with solid 21 points culminating a total stableford 41, beating the rest of 80 golfers who turned out for the annual event.
Joseph who started to learn the game barely ten years ago at a tenderage of eight, was at his best during the day.
He teed off unimpressively after conceding a bogey at the par three first but he quickly recovered to sink an eagle three at the par five second.
He dominated the tee box in the subsequent par five third where he sank a beautiful birdie after his third shot hit the green with remarkable regulation.
Par five sixth proved him wrong when his tee shot was lost in the bush and another attempt saw him scratching his card.
He regained composure to hit a par the subsequent par four seventh before stretching his muscles to sink the second eagle three of the day at the par five eighth. He decorated the front nine with birdie at the par three nine for 21 points to trail another up and coming teenage senasation, Anorld Simon by massive six points.
Josephs’ back nine was slightly stained with a bogey at the opening par three tenth but he thereafter hit an avalanche of pars for a flawless eight remaining holes carding inward 20 points. However, golf captain Azim Dewji chopped Joseph’s handicap to two.
Highly improving teenager Sinom who posted the best score of 45 points only won the junior title having used the ladies tees during the tourney. Otherwise the 22 handicapper showcased his prowess in the game for his deep scorching 27 points at the end of the front nine before slowing to 18 points at the end of the round.
Andrew Simon beat Shahzad Bhanji on 39 points countback to excel in men’s category. In ladies category Tayana Williams continued to make headlines when she edged Rehema Athumani on 32 stabelford countback, Chiku Elias was a guest winner.
Leonard Pangani teef off nearest to the pin on par three fifth as Rocky Parker released the day’s best power-packed drive at windy par four 17th.
