Webster Kaunga had the bet front nine (19 points) while Zelda Mende did it in ladies’ category.

Nico General chief executive officer Donbell Mandala said despite the searing heat, it was a fantastic tournament.

“Illovo Sugar (Malawi) plc are one of our biggest clients and this tournament was organised as a way of thanking them for their continued support. We also wanted to thank other clients as well.

“Such types of tournaments offer us an opportunity to interact and get feedback from you, including criticism on where we have gone wrong because you have been part of our growth and success,” he said.

Nico General donated K300 000 for the maintenance of the greens. Nchalo Sports Club golf captain John Mphande thanked the insurance company for its continued support. n
