Zimbabwe’s TongoonaCharamba, was at the weekend, the winner of the annual SiphiweNyanda Golf Tournament held at Swazi Royal Golf Course that concluded after 54 holes on 23rd August 2014 in Ezulwini.
Charamba, who is fondly known as ‘TC’, carded a score of 70 in the third and final round to come out on top on eight-under-par 208, pocketing E27 000 at the Royal Swazi Spa Golf Course at Ezulwini yesterday.
The celebrated event played in honour of South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) stalwart, SiphiweNyanda, featured a field of 75 professional golfers from Southern African countries that included Zimbabwe, South Africa, Swaziland and Zambia.
“It’s my first time to compete in the event but I think the experience of playing in the same course in previous Sunshine Tour tournaments has come in handy,” the champion said. “I did not play well in the first and last round but managed to win. I still feel I should have done better. I now turn my efforts to the upcoming Uganda Open in East Africa.”
FarahiChitengwa, another of the Uganda Open registered players carded 67 73 70 six-under to finish second, two shots behind TC. Both players arrive in the country on 1st September 2014.
