In the women’s category, it was Regina Mwanza, who walked tall on the greens after counting out Sheila Chinkhandwe on 20 points.
Karen Baylis had the longest drive while Mwanza was nearest to the pin.
Mwanza, too, appreciated Nico General’s support for the event.
“Many thanks to Nico General for organising this golf. I am so excited today to have won. This is a fourth major win for me this year,” said Mwanza.
Nico General chief executive officer Eric Chapola said the golf was a thank you to their Lilongwe clients for giving them good business over the years.
“The objective was to pool together brokers and our direct clients and thank you for the good business you have given us this year,” said Chapola.
Nico General has been sponsoring golf at LGC for over 10 years. Chapola promised that they will be back next year with a fully fledged 18-hole tournament.
