to conclude today. As of the latest report later yesterday, Maphalala held a
commendable score of 71 gross, showcasing his skill on the course.

It is noteworthy that the ultimate champion will be determined in today’s
final round. Defending champion Mongiwetfu Masuku, despite a lacklustre start
yesterday, remains optimistic about his prospects of claiming victory in this
fiercely contested tournament.
Meanwhile, junior golfer Kaylah Zwane expressed her desire to gain invaluable
experience during her inaugural participation in the event. She also encouraged
fellow young ladies to join this predominantly male-dominated sport.
Mbabane Golf Club Lady Captain Nolly Ginindza characterised this event as one of
the most significant tournaments in the country. However, she lamented the
underrepresentation of female golfers, with less than 10 participating compared
to the overall field of over 80.
Additionally, Mbabane Golf Club Captain Gideon Mhlongo expressed satisfaction
with the tournament’s turnout, noting that the golf course is nearly at full
capacity, hosting approximately 80 competitors. He extended his gratitude to the
sponsors for their unwavering support over the past decade.
