THE illustrious Seruji Haji Setia got the year off in style by capturing the Overall Gross title at the PWM Kampong Ayer Charity Golf yesterday.
In his first local tournament of the year, he carded 72 Gross to outclass the rest of the field at the Pantai Mentiri Golf Club.
“I am happy to start off with my first win in a local tournament this year. I felt that I hit the ball quite well today.
