Owusu was followed by Tender P. (67 net) and Omane-Brempong (69 net), while two heavyweights, Florence Etwi-Barimah ( 74 net) and Margaret Owusu Baah (75 net), were the first and second runners-up behind Mona.
Unknown Seth Amoah won the men’s Group B with a net score of 61, beating Sam Jonah, who scored 68 net, a stroke better than Tang Bin.
