Yamaha powered AmCham golf 2015 hosts top performers

Yamaha, the iconic Japanese name in performance motorcycles, water sports craft and golf carts, sponsored the 16th AmCham Golf Tournament, held on 22 August at the Royal Golf Club (RCGC).

Building on last year’s success, the high profile fixture on the golfing calendar in Sri Lanka brought together 180 entrants, including top-seeded players, who will vie for the top slots in each category for a chance to be crowned tournament champ.

The overall winner of the tournament (nett) was Y. Sinha with 45 points, while Amrith De Soyza, with 36 points, was awarded the overall winner (gross). Taking top honours in the ladies category was Katty Twenbold, while Sharon Hall took the runner up spot.

Awards for the ‘longest drive’ and ‘nearest to the pin’ were won by D. Serasinghe (men) and Kumari Herath (women), and Harin Udeshi (men) and Sharon Hal (women), respectively.

“As a designer and producer of the world’s best high performance water sports craft, Yamaha embodies the spirit of sportsmanship and the drive for excellence. As the representative for Yamaha in Sri Lanka, Associated Motorways Ltd., is extremely proud to be part of this great sporting tradition and we look forward to a great day of golf and hopefully some new records,” said Samantha Rajapaksa, Group Managing Director of AMW.

A notable feature at the event was the Yamaha Waverunner VX Cruiser as well as Yamaha 6-seater Golf Cart, which was on display. 

On a special note, part of the proceeds of the tournament will be donated to a RCGC nominated charity by AmCham.
