By Daily Sports on February 27, 2016

Seventeen-handicapper, Sivan Ajaya, has won the 2016 edition of the Daniel Ogechi Memorial Foundation (DOAMF) Golf Tournament, which was concluded last weekend at the Golf Section of Ikoyi Club 1938 in Lagos.

He shot 67 net at the one-day tournament; towering above other players that teed off at the event on Saturday February 6, 2016.

Ajaya, who has been a steady supporter of the Foundation, said he was very happy to have emerged winner of the 2016 edition. He carted away not only the coveted winner’s trophy but also an Arik Air business class return ticket to any international destination of his choice flown by the airline.

According to him, “I am indeed very happy, this is a unique and well managed event, the purpose of the event makes it a more special one to be associated with. It is indeed a big achievement for me.”

Ajaya’s score placed him two shots better than Giovanni Mello who returned 69 net in second place, while Tony Press finished in third place with 72 net.

Chairman, Organising Committee of DOAMF Charity Golf, Pat Bassey, said the event has grown to become the biggest show of support for the less privileged by the Nigerian golfing community.

“We touched 9,000 lives in 2015 through scholarship awards, building of sickbays and partnering other health institutions in remote locations across the country. We have set a target to, at the least, double the headcount this year and, our sponsors have shown they are in support of this by overwhelmingly backing us. This corporate and individual support has given us some measure of confidence that our goal this year is realisable,” he said.

Other winners at the event included Peter Eben-Spiff, who shot 80, eight over par to claim the overall gross prize, leaving Warren Dance and DOAMF 2015 Winner, Lanre Taniwomo, to second and third places respectively. Godwin Oboh scored 76 net to lead the veteran category, while Rita Okafor emerged ladies’ best net player with 71 net score over 18 holes of play.

This year’s events was supported by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Diamond Bank Plc, Zenith Bank Plc, ARM Pension Managers, Arik Air Limited, Channels Television, Radial Circle Group, Cappa & D’Alberto Plc, Heritage Bank Limited, SPAR (Park N’ Shop), Southern Sun, Four Points by Sheraton, Victoria Crown Plaza, Grand Oak, Chikki Foods and Ikoyi Club 1938, among many others.
