E1M LOMBARD CLASSIC AT ROYAL SWAZI

MBABANE – It’s happening at the Royal Swazi Spa Golf Club. The venue will play host to the Lombard Insurance Classic with prizes worth E1 million from May 17 to 19. This tournament comes just two weeks after the Investec Royal Swazi Open that had a prize money of E1.5 million.

The tournament has featured prominently on the Sunshine Tour since 2007 and it is among the most historic moments in Southern Africa golf. The tournament will start on May 17 at 8am and it will end on May 19 at 6pm.
Among the world known golfers who had graced the event include John Daly, Ernie Els, Mark McNutty, John Bland, Dale Hayes and Fulton Allem, among others.

Locals

According to the sunshinetour website, there are over 100 professional golfers who have already entered for the tournament and majority comes from South Africa. Some of the locals who also appear in the draw include Meshack Zwane, Peter Dlamini and James Pennington.

It is yet to be confirmed if the country’s number one lady golfer, Nobuhle Dlamini, will also play in the tournament as her presence was felt in Investec Royal Swazi Open where she was crowned the champion in the ladies category.
Professional golfer and coach Meshack Zwane confirmed yesterday that they are in the pre-qualifiers for one spot in the Classic. “We are part of the tournament but we are pre-qualifying for one spot in the Lombard Insurance Classic,” he said.
