The temperature was very high. We played in some very hot and humid conditions. But these are the conditions golfers dream of. The Guyana team so far looking good. I performed outstandingly.I think I played according to my plan in getting to the green in three and not trying to get there in two. It’s a very tricky course and if you’re not accurate, you’re either in the rough or in the water. Today I managed to stay out of most of the penalty. And I finished the game on the par today. So I do look forward to tomorrow, which is another exciting day for golf and golfers in Suriname this weekend.”
