Ghana’s Vincent Torgah, on Saturday, won the Custodian Classic in a play decided by three holes play-off and one ‘Sudden-death,’ to pocket the star prize of N1.5 million at the 54-hole event held at the Golf Section of Ikoyi Club 1938, Lagos.
After a joint lead in the first two rounds, Torgah ended the final round with a three-way tie with Gift Willy of Python Golf Club and Sunday Olapade of Ikoyi Club, before the four-hole decider that rounded off the Classic.
“The level of sportsmanship shown at this event is commendable, especially in this last round. I saw the skills on display, especially in the few holes I walked with them. This is one of the reasons we are partnering to promote professional golf through the PGD Tour,” he said. At the end of competition, PGD Tour Tournament Chief, Femi Olagbenro, said the Custodian event was an improvement on the Tour opening competition, the Meristem Open in January, and promised that improvement is an ongoing process on the Tour.
