‘Nobody in Guyana could beat me’

Fresh off his retention yet again of the Lusignan Open title, nine-time Guyana Open winner Avinash Persaud proclaimed that nobody in Guyana could beat him in golf.

The confidence spewed in abundance from the dominant golfer who said, “My victory was expected because surely nobody in Guyana could beat me. I just go out there and play how I know to play and come out with the win on any day.”

Unmoved by the now predictable triumph, Persaud said that he entered the competition in a relaxed frame of mind, knowing that once he plays his natural game nothing could go wrong despite the heavy rain over the two-day tournament.

“I just had to go and take it easy because it was a walkover for me. It was one-sided so I didn’t had to do much,” he told Stabroek Sport.
