Zimbabwean professional golfer Ben Folliet-Smith has won the Gokomere Open Championship at Chapman Golf Club which is part of the inaugural Chevron Tour that has attracted over 50 professionals from four countries.
After three rounds of action, Folliet-Smith stood tall in the 54-hole tournament as he finished seven under to win the Open.
