When the dust settled following the completion of the Trophy Stall annual golf tournament Saturday at the Lusignan Golf Club, Kevin Dinanauth was crowned champion of the A flight while Patanjalee Persaud and Clifford Reis won the B and C flights respectively.

In the A flight (0-15 handicap), Dinanauth earned a score of 68/6 after four birdies and six bogies.

 He ended the tournament two over par, obtaining the Best Gross as well as the Best Net scores.

He was followed by Joaan Deo (70/15), LGC President Aleem Hussain (71/10), reigning Guyana Open Male Champion, Avinash Persaud (72/2) and Patrick Prashad (73/9) in that order.

Dinanauth, who had not played in a tournament since November said: “I have been practicing once a week, and today I was determined to focus on my game and play well.”

Over in the B flight (16-21 handicap), Reis ended the day 72/25 and was trailed by Jordi Pinol (74/28) who finished second.
