XM 2012 Guyana Open Championships…Haniff, Sukhram ready to defend titles
Over 80 golfers from the USA and Canada, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago along with those based locally will converge at the Lusignan Course to participate in this year’s XM 2012 Guyana Open Championships which tees off today from 06:30 hrs and ends tomorrow.
Among those expected to take the Course are defending Men’s and Ladies champions T&T-based Papo Haniff and Christine Sukhram, while there are a number of contenders who could make life difficult for the two titlists.
Christine Sukhram
Three-time champion Avinash Persaud, Mohanlall Dinanauth, 18-year old Avinda Kishore, Fazil Haniff and Alfred Mentore are all worthy players with the ability to capture the crown, while on the distaff side Sukhram, who is coming off a solid performance in the Digicel Open last week is still the player to beat.
She will have compatriot Joann Deo as one of her main contenders, while not much is known of the visiting Ladies from Suriname, but word is that they are good players and proficient enough to spring a surprise on the champ.
Sukhram quizzed earlier in the week about her readiness, said that she is confident and even though the Surinamese have players of quality she is going to try her best to defend her title.
