Connor McKenzie wins Silver Salver

Hot weather and lightning delays proved to make Silver Salver a tough test this year.
Unfortunately due to lightning, the tournament had to once again be reduced to 54 holes.
The leaderboard stayed tight at the top throughout, however CGGU’s Conner MacKenzie managed to lift the trophy with rounds of 70, 73 and 69 ahead of nearest rivals Joshua Koekemoer, Dawid Opperman and Ruben van der Berg who were all one shot behind.

A huge thank you to Irene Country Club for giving up the course for the weekend.  The Clubhouse is really starting to look fantastic after recent upgrades and with more to come we are proud to call Irene the home of Gauteng North.  Thank you to the management and staff for your hospitality and assistance in helping us host a successful tournament.
Another big shoutout is to GolferAde.  In the scorching weather, the GolferAde and waters on the tee were a huge bonus for the players to help stay hydrated – Hydrate Better, Play Better, It’s a Gimme!
