Following yesterday’s success, Dlamini made a strong statement about leaving a mark in 2019. She is fresh from winning two events in the Sunshine Ladies Tour in South Africa. These were the Dimension Data Challenge and the Jo’burg Open. Nobuhle also won the Investec last year but the purse was smaller (E45 000).
Meanwhile, the Investec Royal Swazi Open also featured men who got a bigger share from the total E1.5 million purse. Visiting Martin Rohwer from South Africa tightened his grip on the top spot to prevail yesterday. He won a whopping E237 750.
Eswatini’s hopes were on James Pennington, who missed the cut after round two on Thursday.
