Zambia Golf Union president Charles Mwanza expects local golfers to excel at next month’s Zambia Open to be staged at Nkana Golf Club in Kitwe.
The Mopani Copper Mines sponsored 2014 Zambia Open takes place from 13-18 May.
Mwanza said time is ripe for a Zambian to win the prestigious international competition.
“I think the wait for a Zambian to win the competition should be over this year. I am very sure that we will have a Zambian high on the leader-board,” he said.
Zambians have in the past failed to shine at the annual event.
“We are expecting the best from our Zambian golfers , we hope that for the first time we can have a Zambian golfer perform well,” Mwanza added.
Meanwhile, 114 golfers are set to battle for the top prize at the 2014 Zambia Open in Kitwe.
This is the first time Nkana is hosting Zambia’s premier golf championship.
