A native of Zimbabwe, Chitengwa became the first black golfer to win the South African Amateur Championship in 1993, breaking barriers all while playing the game he loved.
Chitengwa first gained acclaim in December 1992, when he defeated Tiger Woods by three strokes to win the Orange Bowl Junior Championship in Coral Gables, Florida.
