Walker Classic
4 March 2007
President Thabo Mbeki earlier this evening congratulated twenty year old
South African golfer Anton Jason Haig for winning the Johnnie Walker Classic
golf tournament held in Thailand. The President noted that the tournament was
Haig's fourth professional worldwide win; the previous three being the 2005
Seekers Travel Pro-Am, the 2006 Malaysian Masters (Asian Tour) and the MTC
Namibia PGA Championship.
The President said Haig's achievement should serve to encourage other young
South Africans to be the best in the world in the various fields of their
professions. To be the best in the world, said President Mbeki, requires
dedication and hard work to which all young South Africans can and must commit
themselves.
