Team Nigeria finished an impressive seventh position out of 20 countries that participated at the just concluded prestigious All Africa Challenge Trophy 2022 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
The International Golf tournament is a biennial continental ladies golf championship in Africa that had its inaugural edition in May 1992. Nigeria hosted the 1996 and 2010 editions at the Ikoyi Golf club, Lagos and the IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja.
NAN also reports that Nigeria ladies golf team scored 488 gross to settle for 7th place out of 20 countries in this year’s championship which was the 15th edition. Amina Wilfred and Evelyn Oyome were the players on the Nigerian team.
South Africa ladies team won the 2022 Golf Championship at the Gymkhana club in Dar es salaam, Tanzania.
The victors, who have now won the title for a record 12th time, had a combined total score of 444 gross in three rounds, five strokes better than North Africans, Morocco.
Juliet Monyei-Inyere, the President, Ladies Golf Association of Nigeria (LGAN) who confirmed the result to NAN on Sunday, said it was the best performance by Team Nigeria in more than a decade.
“I want to congratulate my able Nigerian Team who went with me to the All Africa Challenge Trophy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania 2022.
“I can proudly say that we went, we saw and we conquered.
“Even though Nigeria featured two players instead of three (due to travel document issues), we were able to finish seventh out of 21 countries, which is our best performance in over a decade,” she said.
