The Zimbabwean prodigy, who has been in the form of his life in 2025, started the tournament on the back foot with a one-over-par 74 in the first round, where he carded 37 on both the front and back nine. As he has done previously when staging remarkable comebacks, Shutt was at his best in the second round, recording the tournament’s lowest round. He signed for an impressive six-under-par 67, with a 33 on the front nine and 34 on the back nine. Going into the third and final round, Shutt stood on an overall five-under-par 141, tied with Chuma, who had carded rounds of 70 and 71. Shutt closed with a final round of three-under-par 70, while Chuma dropped two shots, signing for a two-over-par 75 to settle for second place. “We celebrate not just the win, but the spirit of excellence you brought to this tournament,” the Zambia Golf Union posted. Vally and Botha, tied for third, finished on six-over-par 225. Having won the Zambia Amateur Open, Shutt’s focus now shifts to the Mopani Zambia Open, which tees off at Nkana Golf Club on Thursday.
