Maru Chokwe, Lone Masalila, and Edwin Madigela have been the stand-out performers thus far. Chokwe, 14, has done well, finishing in the top five in the women's section during the Jwaneng Open.

She competed in the main draw winning against both the junior and the senior women. She won with 85 gross shots scored on Saturday and 84 gross shots scored on Sunday. In the junior boys' section, 17-year-old Masalila has been making steady progress.
