Olukoya dethrones Ayomike to win golf club championship
True to his pre-championship boasts, Remi Olukoya outclassed the field to take a five-stroke victory at the Ikoyi Club 1938 Club Championship. The weekend’s win was his eight of the championship, which had Tim Ayomike as defending champion.
The Chief Executive Officer of Falcon Golf Development Company shot an opening 1-over 72 and a closing 5-Over Par76 to win the tournament by five shots over the hard fighting Peter Eben-Spiff and Ayomike.
“I knew today was going to be tough and exciting as well. But I must thank my playing partners for their support and especially the orgnisers for putting together a wonderful tournament”, Olukoya said.
Second placed Eben-Spiff, a former champion, also had the best score of Day-2 of the tournament at 73, two over the course par. Defending Champion Ayomike opened his title defence with an opening 80-gross and a closing 76 for 156-total over 36-holes. His effort placed him in the third position.
Talal Akar, Ikay Afe and Tony Unuavworho completed the top six in the winners chart. Other winners in the competition are Victor Akinbayo, winner in the net category and Dotun Isiaka, who ducked in the second position, while A. Hathiramani completed the top three in the net category.
Satisfied with the outcome of competition, Ikoyi Club 1938 Golf Captain, Tade Adekunle, said the success was borne out of the desire to make the tournament better.
“What we try to do is to raise the bar, bring new innovations to make this tournament better”, he said, while congratulating the winners. He also applauded Guinness, Aramanda and Turkish Airline for their support.
