After a thrilling four-hole competition, Ayishatu Aminu proved her leadership skills by winning with 29 points, followed by Juliana Nassah with 32 points and Adam Fadila with 35 points. Jennifer Satura and Paula Kokame tied for fourth place with 35 points each.

In an interview after her victory, Ayishatu expressed her joy and gratitude to her coaches for their guidance and support: "My coach motivated me to win this year, and that's what I focused on coming into this competition. I took my lessons seriously and stayed relaxed, which ultimately helped me succeed."
An elated Ayishatu also thanked Captain One Golf for providing her with the opportunity to develop her golfing talent: "Without Captain One Golf, I doubt I'd be here, let alone recognized as Ayisha. They've done so much for me and my fellow kids. Whenever we reflect on our journey with Captain One, we feel incredibly lucky. We know that golf can take us far, and we're determined to make the most of this opportunity."
To help the kids stay engaged on the course, Captain One organized a monthly medal competition at the Royal Golf Club.
