Golfer can win villa for meeting Mauritian challenge!
Johannesburg: One of the sponsors of the Mauritius Open, Villas Valriche Monday announced a special prize of a villa, valued at $1 million, for the first golfer who shoots an eagle on the par 4, 423 metres, 17th hole on the final day of the May 7-10 tournament to be held at Heritage Resorts in Mauritius.
“The Mauritius Open is the first tri-sanctioned tournament of its kind to be endorsed by the Sunshine, European and Asian Tours,” Villas Valriche chief executive officer (CEO) Anton de Waal said.
“As such we believe that this special prize, which holds the highest monetary prize value ever awarded for an eagle across all three Tours, is testament to the marquee status of the tournament of which we are proud to be a sponsor.”
Asian Tour CEO Mike Kerr said, “It is fantastic that Villas Valriche has come up with such an attractive reward for the first golfer shooting an eagle on the 17th hole during the final round of the inaugural Mauritius Open in May.
Mauritius Open is the first ever tri-sanctioned golf tournament endorsed by the Sunshine, European and Asian Tours. It is expected to draw top golfers from each of the three Tours. The AfrAsia Bank is the title sponsor of the event.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
