##Tanzanian Golfer Wins Nigeria Ladies Open In Abuja##

**A golfer from Tanzania has won the biggest women's golf title in Nigeria.

Neema Olomi emerged champion of the 2026 Nigeria Ladies Open Championship at the IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja. She won after three rounds, with a total score of 229, which is 13-over-par.

If you do not follow golf, here is the simple version: in golf, lower is better. Olomi finished five strokes ahead of her closest rival, so it was a clear win, not a lucky one.

Who Won And Where##

• Winner: Neema Olomi from Tanzania
• Tournament: 2026 Nigeria Ladies Open Championship
• Venue: IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja
• Final score: 229, 13-over-par
• Her rounds: 74 in round one, 75 in round two, 80 in the final round

Olomi started strong with a 74, stayed steady with a 75, and held on with an 80 on the final day to seal the title.

Second place went to Afi Amezedo from Ghana, who finished on 234, 18-over-par. Third place went to another Tanzanian, Madina Hussein, on 238. Fourth place went to Hawa Wanyeche, also from Tanzania, on 241.

Olomi said she was delighted to win, especially against a strong field of talented golfers from different countries.

Why This Stands Out For Women's Golf##

This win stands out because of the size of the event. The championship drew more than 100 female golfers from different countries and backgrounds, including several Nigerian players.

It was organised by the Ladies Golf Association of Nigeria (LGAN) and played over 54 holes, which means three rounds of 18 holes each.

For many fans, women's golf in Africa does not get the same attention as football or athletics. This tournament showed that there is real depth, real competition, and real talent in the women's game.

Lami Ahmed, President of LGAN, described the tournament as an important platform for promoting women's golf and strengthening international sporting relationships. She also said the association is committed to developing the game and building friendship through sport.

What The Result Says About African Competition##

This result says African golf is becoming more competitive across borders.

Tanzania did not just win, it dominated the top of the leaderboard. Three of the top four finishers were from Tanzania. Ghana also took second place.

That is good news for the sport on the continent. It means talent is not in one country alone. It is spreading, and players are travelling to compete against each other.

At the same time, it is a wake-up call for Nigeria. No Nigerian golfer finished in the top 10. The best Nigerian score was 42 strokes behind the winner.

That gap shows how much work is still needed to raise the local game to international level. Hosting big tournaments like this helps, because young Nigerian golfers get to see, learn from, and play against the best in Africa.

Olomi's win is not just a personal triumph. It is proof that African women's golf is growing, and that the next champion can come from anywhere on the continent.**
