By Breaking Belize News: Last weekend, the third edition of the Santander Sugar Cup 2023 was held with a record participation of 53 players, organized by the Belize Golf Federation (BGF).

It is the first major tournament of the season, and it was very exciting from beginning to end.

English player Mukti Gurung won the championship in the “Gross” category (without handicap), in his first major tournament. Mukti signed a final card of 71 strokes for a total of 140 strokes for both days. Mukti defeated Tim Heath, who finished one stroke behind with a final round of 71 strokes for a total of 141 strokes. It was a battle from beginning to end, decided on the final hole with an extraordinary putt by Mukti.

In the “Net” category, the victory went to Ryne Lizarraga, who defeated Tim Heath in a playoff; both signed a total of 127 strokes for the tournament, which led to a tiebreaker where Ryne sealed the win with a tremendous birdie on hole 15.

In category B, the victory went to Saul Barrera Jr, the last of the Barreras to win a major championship. The famous Saulito defeated Gilbert Gordon by two strokes, with a total of 123 strokes for both days and Gordon 125 strokes in the tournament.

In the team category, the victory, decided by a tiebreaker on hole 18, went to the team led by Steve Hack, Daniel Masaheri, and Naim Musa. This is a unique category played in the Santander Sugar Cup.

The RRGC course, affected by drought and increased wind, proved challenging and did not make it easy for the players.

Congratulations to the winners and to the Santander Sugar Group for this great event, supporting the growth of golf in Belize.
