Saadiyat Beach and Abu Dhabi Golf Club Ramadan Open glory after late surge from Dincer and Barrack

Saadiyat Beach Golf Club and Abu Dhabi Golf Club, in conjunction with Millennium Hotels Abu Dhabi, co-hosted the third annual Ramadan Open on 27th and 28th July 2012. This was the first time that the Troon Golf Abu Dhabi event had been staged for two days and over two golf courses.

The first round took place at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club with 42 teams battling it out to take the title. In excellent scoring conditions it was the team of Gareth Dennison and Stuart Morgan that took the early lead with an outstanding score of 44 points in the Betterball format. At the half way stage they had a lead of 3 points from their nearest rivals Michael Conneely and David Lawlor, and the team of Matthew Boucher and Guy Simpson who both scored 41 points.

The second round, held at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, saw a sudden change in events take place. Dennison and Morgan managed a score of 38 points only, giving them a total score of 82 points – just good enough for second place. Conneely and Lawlor were also unable to match their first round score, settling for third place with a second round score of 39 points and a combined score of 80 points.

The Ramadan Open title went to the team of Ty Dincer and Ryan Barrack, who scored 40 points in the first round. They shot the low score of the day with 43 points at Abu Dhabi Golf Club to give them a total score of 83 points.  After heading into the final round in joint fourth place, Dincer and Barrack made a surprise late surge to take victory by a single point. 

Saadiyat Beach Golf Club and Abu Dhabi Golf Club would like to thank the title sponsor Millennium Hotels Abu Dhabi for their contributions and support towards the 2012 Ramadan Open and making this year’s event a great success.
