Ghana’s Vincent Torgah on Sunday in Abuja claimed the Nigeria Masters title for a record third time in a row, extending his lead and Order of Merit point in the African Tour.
The consistent Torgah emerged as the 2019 Masters champion; his fifth title on the tour this season and his 15th since the inception of the African Tour in 2016.
Torgah extended his lead and Order of Merit point by quite some style after he bounced back from a ridiculous 4 over par 76 on day three with a final round 4 under par 68.
The 36-year-old sank five birdies with one drop shot on par 4 hole 13.
A total of 179 gross gave him a nine-shot victory for yet another Nigeria Masters title, the third in a row.
“It feels great. It’s like you’ve been doing something for the past three years and getting the best out of it.
“The feeling is very good. I feel more confident about my game now than ever before.
“It was indeed a great opportunity to defend my title for the third time and looking forward to a fourth, maybe if possible,” Torgah said.
Torgah was closely followed by Zimbabwe’s Visitor Mapwanya who closed with a two-under-par 70 which was good enough for a second-place finish.
The Nigeria Masters tournament which teed off on Thursday at the IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja ended on Sunday.
