Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club August BMW Medal
In extremely hot and at times breezy conditions, Alan Stanton took top honours in the August BMW Monthly Medal with some rock steady play.
The South African, playing after a three month break from golf, showed little rustiness in carding a gross 75 and net 70. “It was great to be back playing,” said Stanton afterwards, “The course was in great shape and I really want to thank our new superintendent Matt Perry for his hard work since taking over at the Creek.”
The runner up in Division A was Alok Pant. A frustrating double bogey six on the tough 18th hole meant that Pant had to settle for a net 72, two shots adrift of the winner.
In Division B Pritam Merchandani shot a net 76, a score that proved good enough to secure victory by a single shot from Robert Platt. The Ladies Division was won by Chikako Onoue who snatched the win on count back from Maureen Platt and Paul King scooped the prize for lowest gross score with a 74.
