Higher handicapper wins Turkish Airline golf

Williams carded an impressive 41 points to beat second-placed Aliasgher Mustafa by four clear points and scoop the top prize of the event.

The winner was out for 21 before closing the event with inward 20 points to stamp her authority in the highly attended event despite blistering sun that dominated the entire duration of the event.

Two pars in the front nine and another in the back nine were enough to colour the scorecard of the player who is expected to be chopped her handicap owing to her otherwise impressive performance.

Mustafa who was the event’s runners-up scored 37 points, 16 in the opening nine and the rest in the back nine. The player made superb improvement in the back nine with several pars to decorate his final score. Playing at handicap 12, Mustafa might be using a much lower handicap, come the next event.

Third-placed in the event was Vicky Nyenza who plays off handicap seven returned a stable ford score of 37 p0ints. However, Nyenza won on count back over two other players who also tied on the same points but she excelled in the back nine performance.

She reached the urn at 19 points before4 stepping up her play to increase by one more point in her inwards score.

However, national team player Victor Joseph is perhaps the most impressive golfer of the tournament after winning the best gross prize of the tourney. Joseph returned 39 points with an outward score of 20 points and the balance in the back nine.

Joseph was the happiest of all golfers who featured in the event after winning a raffle draw by Turkish Airline. He won a return ticket by the Airline that gives him an opportunity to choose any destination across Europe. He was tight lipped as he would not choose destination instantly but then said he was happy to secure the life-time opportunity.
