Mangra claims top spot as NTFGL Tour intensifies

Maxim ‘Danny’ Mangra produced a superb performance at the Lusignan Golf Club to capture first place in the second round of the National Top Flight Golf League (NTFGL) Tour.

In excellent weather conditions, a competitive field of 22 golfers battled for valuable points in what is fast becoming one of Guyana’s premier amateur golf competitions.

Mangra set the tone early, carding a remarkable net 31 on the front nine to establish a lead the rest of the field simply could not catch. His final net 67 secured the maximum 10 points and moved him into sole possession of the league lead.

The back nine proved highly competitive, with Anand Persaud producing the best score on that side of the course with a net 32.

Persaud eventually secured second place following a countback decision after finishing tied on net 71 with Fazil Hanif, who took third.

Patrick Prashad also finished strongly with a net 71 to secure additional league points, while veteran competitor Chet Bowling rounded out the points standings with a net 72.

Organisers noted that consistency and composure are already emerging as key factors, with every single point carrying significant importance in the race for the season title.

Danny Mangra – 10 Points
