Sseruwo tops the MTN October Tees golf tournament in Entebbe

Mulungi Sseruwo carded a net score of 8-under 63 to win the October MTN Monthly Tees tournament at Entebbe Club on Saturday.

After six unsuccessful attempts this year Sseruwo, who plays off handicap 28 finally found his winning touch topping a strong field that had 198 players in action. But he remains far below in the Monthly Tee Order of Merit.

It is instead Rukia Nalwoga and Peace Hellen who won the ladies Groups A and B respectively and Maxi Byenkya who was the runners up in the ladies Group B who strengthened their positions (top four) on the ladies Order of Merit leaderboard having made it to the podium once again.
