Huge win for local golfer

Jovan Rebula could not have asked for better preparation for next week’s SA Boys u19 Championship when he played near to flawless golf on his way to a 4 shot victory in the Nomads North/South Championship at the Lake Club Benoni on Wednesday 27 March.

Rebula, who is a member of the Ernie Els&Fancourt Foundation (EEFF) and a learner at Outeniqua High School, secured the title with rounds of 67, 67, 69 for 203, 13 under par. Altin van der Merwe from Bellville GC (71, 66, 70 for 207) finished second with Darin de Smidt from Krugersdorp GC (69, 67, 73 for 209) in third position.

The 15-year-old Rebula praised David Meyers, his fellow EEFF member and roommate for the duration of the tournament, for giving him a tip on his putting on the carpet in their hotel room.
