Al Badia Trio Proceed to the Volvo World Golf Challenge

The Volvo World Golf Challenge qualifier was held at Al Badia Golf Club on Saturday with participants competing for the chance to play in the Grand Final in November. The lucky winner of the Grand Final, which will be hosted by Al Badia Golf Club on 24th November, will be flown to South Africa to play in the Volvo Golf Champions tournament that is attended by some of the biggest names on the European Tour and broadcasted live to millions across the world.

Carl Downham was the first player to qualify for the Grand Final with the lowest gross score of 74. Carl managed to fend off the tough competition with a level par back nine that secured him first place by virtue of the countback. The best net score was carded by Laurent Giroulle who shot a very impressive net 66. The final spot left in the grand final was for the best female score that was won by Hee Sun Kim, who played very consistently to shoot a net 65.

These three players will now go forward to compete in the UAE Grand Final with 15 other players all competing for the all expenses paid trip to South Africa.
