Share

The 2014 Zambia Open Organising Committtee says Brazilian golfer Adilson Da Silva is coming to defend his title at this year’s event to be hosted by Nkana Golf Club in Kitwe.

Committee chairman Emmanuel Mutati said 114 golfers from 10 countries have so far entered to participate in the Zambia Open.

Over 15 local profesionals are expected to take part in the Zambia Open to be held from 12-18 May in Kitwe.

Mutati made the revelation on Tuesday when Puma Energy Zambia donated K115, 000 toward the hosting of this year’s event.

“As of today, a total of 114 golfers from 10 countries, including the defending champion, Adilson Da Silva from Brazil have entered to play in this year’s tournament. From this one can see that we are making remarkable progress from all frontiers,” he said.

Puma Zambia Board chairman Jacob Sikazwe presented the cheque to the organising committee.

“We wish the Zambia Open Organising Comittee well in your hosting of the 2014 Zambia Open at Nkana Golf Club.”
