KES Old Boy scores a hat-trick of golfing titles!
24 October 2013King Edward VII School Old Boy, Callum Mowat scored a hat-trick of golfing wins recently in Swaziland. Callum won the Open Championship, the AAGTC Individual Title and Team South Africa won the AAGTC Trophy.
Callum Mowat, Zander Lombard, NJ Arnoldi and Gerlou combined to claim South Africa’s seventh successive triumph at the Royal Swazi Sun Country Club with a total score of 34-under-par 830, finishing 26 strokes clear of Zimbabwe.
Mowat clinched the Swazi Open title by two shots from Lombard on Sunday and edged out his team mate again to win the Individual Competition with rounds of 65-65-71-75. The Modderfontein golfer said it was a much tougher day at the office, but he was delighted that the team backed him up in the final round.
“I struggled, but the team pulled through and that is what this championship is all about,” he said.
“I have to thank the team, Llewellyn and the SAGA for this opportunity and for what has undoubtedly been the best week of my golfing career. To win the Swazi Open and the AAGTC and the individual competition was more than I dreamed of doing. And I have to say thanks to my coach, Robbie Stewart, my family and friends for their support and for believing in me.”
Congratulations Callum on these fantastic results and recent achievements, proving that hard work, dedication and commitment do eventually earn due rewards. The King Edward Community wish you many more accolades and success into the future!
