Close win for Mannetjies

Last weekend 87 players battled out a tough course setup and windy conditions playing in round three of the AfricaOnline Race to Omeya Members Cup.

Even though conditions were challenging, Mannetjies Burger took the honours on 40 points, beating Omeya staff member, Meliki Shoozi on the count out. The prize-winning positionswere:

1 Mannetjies Burger 40 points (count-out)

2 Meliki Shoozi 40 points

3 Eric Verburg 39 points

4 Johan Steyn 38 points

5 Marco Vollgraaff 37 points (count-out)

• Tomorrow players will have backing from a partner when they tee it up for round 2 of the Dulux Betterball series at Omeya.
