| BSI Premier Cycle 1 72-hole Championship |
Congratulations to David Harrold for his win in the BSI Golf Premier Academy Cycle 1 72-Hole Championship played last week on Royal Johannesburg and Kensington East and West Courses, with a 10-under score of 278. David carded scores of 72, 70, 67 and 69 over the four days of humid and wet conditions under-foot.
This win sees David winning three BSI tournaments in a row, two 18-hole events and the 4-day 72-hole tournament. He has not gone over par in the last six BSI tournament rounds, taking him to 16-under in the last three weeks. David has shown some truly great form in the first three months of the year and his process is showing in his results. Well done, David. |
