Mapfumo won the individual stableford competition after getting a net of 37 points.
The tournament was sponsored by Wilfred Chinembiri.
Competition convener Kwangwari Kwangwari was second on 36 points while Crispen Magosvongwe was third on 34 points.
Kwangwari yesterday told Southern Eye Sport that their inaugural competition of the year went on well.
“It was a good tournament, but it was very challenging. A number of the golfers played badly because it has been raining and the course is wet. We are now looking forward to our next competition which we are having on Saturday (tomorrow),” he said.
It was a good day on the greens for Kwangwari as he won the nearest to the pin on holes number seven and 17.
