Priya Hemantha and Praveen Raj, both from the Victoria Golf and Country Resort, won the Division ‘A’ and ‘B’ titles of the July Pin Fernando Grand Prix which was played at Digana, Kandy from July 15 to 18.

Despite strong winds the course offered excellent golf as Hemantha shot a 9 over par 301 to win by 5 shots from Pradeep Kumara of Royal Colombo Golf Club. The eventual winner had an excellent 3 under par 70 in the third round. G. Sridharan of Navy and R. Sureshan of Royal Colombo Golf Club finished equal on third.

The Division ‘B’ winner Raj finished ahead of fellow teammate Sandiya Kumari while Royal Colombo’s Dilee Sharika finished third. A total of 36 golfers competed in the tournament representing Victoria Golf and Country Club, Royal Colombo Golf Club, Diyatalawa Golf Club run by Sri Lanka Army and Sandy Bay Golf Links run by Sri Lanka Navy.
