YOUNG William Weidner-Tirant was unstoppable last Saturday, winning the Air Seychelles/Boeing Golf Tournament to capture the first prize which was a return ticket to Singapore.

The close scores on the first nine holes proved that each and every player had decided to fight it to the last putt to win. Weidner-Tirant led the other golfers with 33 points, followed closely by Patrick Asba, Jerry Jean-Baptiste, Margaret Pragassen, Jayant Mayadas and golf addict Lewis Labrosse.
The second nine proved to be a battle of wits, strategies and, of course, experience and no one could afford a single mistake as this would prove disastrous in the final result. After the first group came in, Lewis Labrosse was in the lead with a nett 66 points to put himself in a strong position to finish among the winners.

In the meantime, young Weidner-Tirant was firing on all cylinders and he applied the turbo on a faultless back nine to come in with another gross 33 points to shoot into the lead.

The only players still on the course who could overtake him were Margaret Pragassen and Jayant Mayadas, but the wheels came off somewhere on the course for those two and their scores could not match that of Weidner-Tirant.
The final results were as follows: Weidner-Tirant first with 63 points, followed by Patrick Asba and Jayant Mayadas.

The front and back nines were won by Margaret Pragassen and Lewis Labrosse respectively.
The prizes were presented to the winners by Dr Hamid Zeghmi, Boeing vice-president International Sales, and Mr Glen Pillay, Air Seychelles' Public Relations Manager.
As for Dudu Chudasama, captain of the Seychelles Golf Club, he thanked Air Seychelles and Boeing for their support to the club and to sports in general in Seychelles.

Meanwhile, the annual Airtel 18-hole Medal-Ford competition will be played on Saturday, starting at 12.45 p.m. at the Seychelles Golf Club, Anse Aux Pins.

All golfers are being asked to give their names as early as possible because late entries will not be accepted.
