Balderstone Sports Institute Tournament Results :BSI Premier Medal

Congratulations to Jacques van der Merwe and Sean Paxton on their joint win in the BSI Premier weekly medal with scores of 70 played on Thursday 13 October 2022 at Royal Johannesburg & Kensington GC East Course. Jacques is on an incredible winning streak, taking 1^st place in the last four BSI tournaments with an accumulated 3-under through his last seven competitive rounds on the tough East Course at Royal. As much as we love the 3-peat, what better than the quadruple!!

Sean has won six 18-hole medals this year, which keeps him top of the Order of Merit with 97 111 points, 25 012 clear of number 2. Each student-athlete is at a different stage of their performance development journey, so we also celebrate personal bests every week.  Well done to Keagan Rollinson 71, Fred Njoroge 75, Cara Bosman 81 and Langelihle Bulose 81.
