Khan & Wright win Rivoli Monthly Medal at Arabian Ranches Golf Club
Omer Khan returned a gross one over par 73 to win the July Rivoli Monthly Medal supported by Speed cleaning & ecco. Khan & Wright both came into the event defending the titles they won in June and accomplished a feat not equalled by many when they successfully defended their title as Medal Champions.
The victory was even more impressive due to the tough conditions; the players had to manage their game well on a very hot, windy and sandy day.
Omer was steady from Tee to Green and posted two birdies with a couple of bogeys on the back nine to secure a well deserved victory.
He commented after his round ‘It’s a great feeling I new I had a chance to win after winning in June but never expected to win back to back titles.”
The division “A” Net title went to Shane Callaghan with a Net 65, Callaghan was outstanding off his 9 handicap almost winning the gross title on the way to posting the round of the day.
In division “B” Andy Barker continued his good form by posting a Net 71 to win by four shots from runner up Shahid Mir.
In the Ladies Division Haide Wright continued to dominate and won her second consecutive Gross Title by posting 86. Best net went to Karen Evans with a level par 72.
Andy Burrow – Club Captain commented at the prize giving. “.Our thanks go out to Rivoli, Speed Cleaning & ecco for their generous support of one of the Clubs most prestigious events”
