Magnificent Macnab lands Nomads SA Girls title

ORKNEY, 2 July 2019 – South Africa’s number one ranked Caitlyn Macnab lived up to her star billing when she
celebrated her 10th start in the Nomads SA Girls Championship with a trophy finish on Tuesday.
There is an old saying in golf – “beware the sick golfer” – and on this occasion it was the sick golfer who came out on top
at Orkney Golf Club.
The 17-year-old from Serengeti Estates carded a final round one-under-par 71 to edge out fellow Ekurhuleni golfer Kiera
Floyd by one stroke on four-over 220, lifting the title and the ultimate prize it carries – a start in the Duke of York Young
Champions Trophy in September.
“I have dreamt of winning the Nomads SA Girls since I first teed it up as a seven-year-old. It’s the most amazing feeling to
be the champion; I am just over the moon. I was really nervous on the first day, because I hadn’t hit a ball for nine days. I
didn’t expect to lead the first round, but after that it was all about playing for the win.”

“I was so, so happy when I sunk that final putt on 18,” said Macnab while posing for a quick selfie with the Jenny Bruce
Trophy. “I’m absolutely over the moon to get this done. It’s not always easy to come into a tournament as the favourite.
There is a lot of pressure on you. I wasn’t at my best, but in the end, all that matters is the win.”
