Battle of the Sexes - Winners
THEY put up a valiant fight, pitting their female wits and pristine putting skills against their male counterparts on “Africa's Best Golf Course”. But in the Battle of the Sexes Pro-Am sponsored by Castle Lite and Sarita, only one sex could emerge victorious in the gender war played out at the five star Legend Golf & Safari Resort at the heart of the Big 5 Entabeni Safari Conservancy, Limpopo.
And for the second year running, it was the 10-strong male team who scooped the prestigious Battle of the Sexes Trophy.
Played out over two-days on the all-male designed championship golf course which recently won the title of “Africa's Best Golf Course” at the World Property Awards in association with Bloomberg, the event saw the cream of South Africa's male and female professional and amateur golfers join forces to compete for a prize fund of R35,000.
On the Par 72 course, with signatures including everyone from Padraig Harrington and Justin Rose to Vijay Singh and Sergio Garcia, the exhilarating event was followed by a prestigious prize-giving lunch in the Signature Course Clubhouse, overlooked by the majestic Hanglip Mountain. Although the WPGA took first place in the individual professional competition last year, the eternal conflict continues as professionals Pierre van Vuuren and Tandi Cunningham scooped joint first place in the individual professional competition.
