A group of Guyanese golfers was in Tobago over the weekend, competing at one of the highest ranked regional golf championships – the four-day Trinidad & Tobago Open held at the Magdelena Grand Beach Golf Course.
Two of those Guyanese golfers, Panko Ramsundar and Aleem Hussain managed to place in the top ten of both Gross and Net categories from a field of over 150 participants.
The T&T 2024 Open drew the top players from around the world to challenge for the coveted title which Trinidad has defended vigorously over the years. Over 150 players from 9 countries participated.
After a grueling four days, the final scores for the Guyanese were: Ramsundar 5th Gross and 8t Net; Aleem Hussain 10th Gross and sixth net; Monnaf Arjune 14th Gross and 15th net; Roy Dhori 12th Net, Rakesh Harry 11th Gross and 10th Net while John Somwar had to withdraw with an injury after scoring 32 points on day one.
Players were given opportunities to take part in boat tours, heritage site visits and other recreational activities that showcased the hospitality of Trinidadians including the food and culture as a part of the tournament.
