Not in the best of form, but I still have the game to be competitive – Rajkumar
Defending Digicel Open Golf Classic Men’s Champion Canada-based Roger Rajkumar speaking with Kaieteur Sport last evening shortly after completing a practice session at the Lusignan Club, said that even though he has arrived in Guyana with little form to defend his title he still believes that he possesses the game that will give him an excellent chance of being competitive.
Rajkumar, who played with a 12 handicap, last year, said that his form leading up to the tournament has not been good and he is really looking forward to some valuable practice ahead of Saturday’s tee off in the Classic that will also see other golfers from North America challenge the locally based players.

“I just got here and as you know it is a different golf here and it will take me a couple of days to get accustomed to the pace of the Couse and how it performs,” the champ stated.
Commenting on the Course, Rajkumar related that he has never seen it in better shape and credited the new executive for doing a splendid job in preparing it for one of the more prestigious vents on the golf calendar.
Among the visting players already in town are Andrew Claxton and Prem Ramnauth and more are expected to arrive shortly.
Rajkumar said the tournament should be a cracking one and urged golf fans to come out and support the Classic.
The reigning Ladies champion is Christime Sukhram and she too will be defending her crown.
The tournament ends on Sunday with the presentation ceremony set to follow its completion.
