Southern Cape claim 72-Hole Team Champs promotion

Southern Cape A delighted the home crowds when Maggi du Toit and Anzelle Zeelie managed to hold off Zethu Myeki and Siviwe Duma from Border in the Challenge Trophy to claim promotion with a two shot victory at the 72-Hole Teams Championship at Mossel Bay Golf Club.

Du Toit carded a 78 and Zeelie returned an 86 to give the side a final round 164 and a winning total of 645.

Myeki carded an 80 and Duma an 82 for a 162 and a runner-up finish for Border.

“The girls played really hard to put us in an attacking position with a four shot lead going into the final round,” said Southern Cape Women’s Golf Association president, Rita Heroldt.

“There was a lot of pressure on them, but they held up beautifully to win. Everyone worked really hard to prepare for the championship.

“I am absolutely thrilled for the A-team and equally proud of our B-team, who underlined their future promise by finishing sixth.”
