Yassin Clinches Ping Emirates Summer Open at Emirates Golf Club

Ramsey Yassin, representing Jumeirah Golf Estates, carded a level par 72 over the famous Majlis course to triumph in the Ping Emirates Summer Open.

The plus one handicapper picked up birdies on the 3rd and 9th holes but a double bogey on the short 2nd saw him out in level par. His back nine was extremely consistent with a birdie on the par five tenth cancelled out by a bogey on the 16th. He clinched the prestigious title by one shot from Rayhan Thomas. Emirates Golf Club was well represented with Charlie Stricklin clinching third place with a gross 76.

The net category was keenly contested by the 77 strong field, inspired by the Open Championship from Murifield. Andrew Whitelaw, from Emirates Golf Club, signed for the best net of the day a 5-under par 67 to clinch handicap division B (Handicap 14-28). James Taplin, representing title sponsors Ping, carded a net 68 to secure runners-up place in Division B. As Ping kindly sponsored all tournament prizes he offered up his Ping golf bag to Brian Shepherd who carded a 73.

Handicap Division A (handicap 0-13) saw a trio of player’s card a one over par 73. Aaron Smith (Emirates Golf Club) took top prize following the card count back with Dhruv Nair in second.
