Ever Green lady golfer in the country Niloo Jayathilake continued her winning streak of trophies this time in the Central Hills when she accounted for the Ladies Gross Winer (Pam Fernando Trophy) at the Donald Steel Golf Championship 2022 which took place at the Victoria Golf and Country Resort (VGCR) last weekend. The Men’s segment saw youngster K. Dhanushan winning the event for the very first time.
Niloo was in peak form in tandem after she accounted for the Commanders Cup, Ladies event only two weeks earlier in China Bay, Trincomalee. Her powerful strokes plus accuracy was a class act and constant occurrence. This was her sixth in the history of the tournament.
