As an added incentive to participate or come and support the players, this year anyone who attended the Argus Open was able to enter a free prize draw to win a pair of tickets for this year’s U.S. Open, taking place in New York from August 29 until September 11. The winner drawn at the prize-giving ceremony this afternoon was Lanan Bascome.
