Anne Abeja was the best lady on the day during the March MTN Monthly Tee at Entebbe Golf Club on Saturday.

Playing off handicap 14, Abeja returned 70 nett to claim the Ladies Group A winners prize. Abeja also took home the award for longest drive.

Entebbe Club ladies Captain Jovia Tugume who carded 73 nett was runners-up in Group A. Annette Nakiyaga and Pamela Tumusiime also got to the podium after returning 72 and 76nett in the ladies Group B.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Lloyd Busuulwa returned to the clubhouse after his best-ever round having registered 66 nett to beat a field of over 200 golfers who took the course.

"I'm happy for my win today because it wasn't an easy round; it was a round of two nines, but the front nine pulled it for me. I drove the ball very well and my putting was spot-on.

"I had some bad shots during the round especially when I twice went out of bounds but my putting saved the day, but it was a good round. It is my first major overall win and I'm looking forward to many more to come," Busuulwa told the media at the 19th hole.

Allan Muhereza and Andrew Baguma were the winner and runners-up respectively in Group A while Joseph Adrapi and Collins Nuwagira took charge of Group B. Herbert Kamuntu and Jamil Maningi led the men's Group C.

Peter Magna, Maxi Byenkya and Joseph Bagabo walked away with the longest drive and nearest to the pin prizes.
