Congratulations to GolfRSA Elite Squad player Symone Henriques and Chiara Contomathios, who performed superbly in the last two events on the 2017 Sunshine Ladies Tour.

The final school year is tough on any golfer, but more so when your majors are mathematics and science. Like all matriculants, academic pressure has forced the 18-year-old Menlo Park learner to put her golfing aspirations on the back burner this season, but Du Toit pushed the books aside for the North West Open and showed her class when she claimed victory in the North West Open on Sunday.

The Border Championship trophy remained in Swiss hands after Cloe Grand followed compatriot Azelia Meichtry into the winner’s circle on Sunday. The 17-year-old KeNako Academy student came from behind to beat local favourite Zethu Myeki by one shot for victory on seven under 226 at East London Golf Club.

Kaleigh Telfer captured a double victory in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality Eastern Province Championships when she lifted both the Stroke Play and Match Play titles at Humewood Golf Club.

Just one day after she edged out Zethu Myeki from Border in extra time for the Stroke Play title, Kaleigh Telfer from Gauteng is targeting the double in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality Eastern Province Championships at Humewood Golf Club.

Randpark golfer Kajal Mistry rounded off a sensational season last year with victory in the KwaZulu-Natal Junior Championships and befitting the country’s top ranked player, she began 2017 in fitting fashion with a magnificent performance in the Liberty GNGU Junior Girls Open earlier this month. We caught up with Kajal during her debut at the SA Women’s Open and discovered some of the things that drive South Africa’s top ranked senior and junior golfer.

Ahleigh Buhai defeated defending champion Lee-Anne Pace at the first extra hole of a sudden-death play-off for the Cape Town Ladies Open title, while Chiara Contomathios edged out Laila Hrindova for the amateur honours at Royal Cape on Thursday.

Laila Hrindova from Slovakia moved into the amateur lead as Ashleigh Buhai tightened her grip on the Cape Town Ladies Open, but the Glendower pro has defending champion Lee-Anne Pace snapping at her heels at Royal Cape Golf Club.
