Tuduetso Onyadile is the Botswana Ladies Golf Open champion and becomes the youngest ever player to win the title.

The 14-year-old received a cash prize of P5, 000 for teeing off competition. However, she missed out on being included in the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) by two shorts. The Botswana Ladies Open tournament, which started on Friday and ended on Sunday at the Stanbic Bank Gaborone Golf Club, had attracted players from Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The new champion told Sport Monitor that as part of her preparations, she worked hard with her coach, Mpho Kelosiwang, on her short game, long game and mental strength.
