PM praises golfer Vijay Singh

Update: 1:19PM PRIME Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says Fijian golfer Vijay Singh has done himself and the nation proud by making it into the top ranks of international golf and bringing such credit to Fiji.

“Vijay has come a long way since he was a ball retriever and caddy at the Tavakubu golf course in our second city, Lautoka,” said Mr Bainimarama at the Fiji International golf tournament dinner at Intercontinental Resort in Natadola last night.

“He is certainly an example to young Fijians of what can be achieved with drive and determination and we again pay tribute to his skills and look forward to seeing him in action here once again.”

Mr Bainimarama also welcomed the golfers, officials, sponsors and spectators to Fiji and officially opened the 2015 Fiji International.
