George Inalegwu on Friday emerged winner of leg14 of the Race to Nigeria masters (Pro/Am) tournament at the Arsenal Golf Course in Owerri.

Inalegwu proved why he was one of the best in the race to the Nigeria Masters tour as he dusted his very strong contenders to win the final round and make the cut.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
the final round of the 14 leg saw a total of six golfers slugging it out at the lush green of Arsenal Golf course, Owerri.

Unfortunately, early leader, Uchenna Anoruo whose hopes were high yesterday (Thursday) went so low in today’s (Friday) game as he fell into second place giving way for Inalegwu to bounce back to top.

With three over 75 Inalegwu was able to secure his position at the top as he started his game with a bogey in the 1st and 17th hole.

He also hit a birdie in the 9th, 10th 12th and 16th holes as well as a double bogey in 14th and tripple bogey in 5th hole.

The 18 year-old finished with a cumulative of +9 after 72 holes (297).

“I did my best and I’m happy I came out top on the leaderboard because Golf is not an easy sport it’s a game of mental gymnastics,” an elated Inalegwu told NAN after the game.

Coming in second place was Anoruo who played 74 in the first round, 72 in second round and 74 in the third round to maintain the lead heading into the penultimate round.

Anoruo however defaulted in the final round as he went behind, giving way for his closest contender to overtake him.

He’s game in the final round had a combination of eight bogeys, one birdie and one double bogey which saw him coming with nine over 81, to amass a total cumulative of +13 after 72 holes (301).

Anoruo who expressed mixed feelings after the game told NAN that although he’s game wasn’t so great, he was happy he didn’t go below the second place.

The 14th Leg of the Race to Nigeria Masters (Pro/Am) is scheduled for April 26 to April 29 at the Arsenal Golf Course, Owerri.

After displaying great form for Istra 1961against Vukovar in the score draw encounter in the elite league few days ago in Croatia, Salim Fago Lawal has continued to enjoy rave of the moment status in the Eastern European nation.

On Wednesday, Lawal was on the scores sheet for Istra in the 75th minute against Kurilovec, but it was only for consolation, as Istra crashed out of Croatian cup in round 16.

It was a masterpiece display from the former Flying Eagles striker, whose work rate has shown great development after joining Istra from modest Nigerian clubside in 2023.

He has scored three goals and two assists, totally five – goal contribution as a striker so far this season.

Interestingly, two other Flying Eagles players, Israel Ayuma and Charles Agada, who are also former players of Mavlon FC, featured in the game and they gave good account of themselves.

Sadly, it was not the day of victory on the pitch for the three former players of Mavlon FC of Lagos.
