Andre Nel was the top KeNako student after the 36 Qualifying Strokeplay tournament at the Sanlam SA Amateur Championships being played at Silver Lakes Country Club in Pretoria. Andre had two solid rounds of 70 and 71 to finish in a tie for 10th place as he enters the Matchplay tournament. Cyril Botha, who joined KeNako’s School Leaver program in January, finished T39th after rounds of 70 and 76, with Jade Buitendag recovering after a first round 76 to shoot 71 in the second round and T46th, whilst Cameron Moralee finished T60th with rounds of 73 and 76. Only 4 KeNako students entered the tournament so it is pleasing that all four players have made it through to the Matchplay tournament. A total 145 players entered the Qualifying stages of the tournament with the top 64 qualifying for the Matchplay. We wish Andre, Cyril, Jade and Cameron well in the Matchplay tournament and hope that they avoid each other in the draw!
