GOLF – Hatem Jerad won the Christmas Hamper at Awali Golf Club on the countback, while Nasser Yaqoob Saleh emerged as the medal winner.
Playing off an 18 handicap, Jerad had two great strings of four pars in a row, which gave him a commanding lead over his competitors. James Williamson in the meantime was on his way to a good score, had a wet triple on 17, but bounced back in style with a birdie on 18. Both scored 67 net, however it was Jerad with the better back nine, making him the overall winner.
Saleh, the medal winner for the best gross round, avoided the bogeys, only two of them, and one birdie making it a solid round of 71 gross, staying three shots clear of TD Rashed Al Qutami, Saleh Ali Ghadeer and Jasper Meinema, all scoring 74.
Prizes were made available by Bapco Refining and presented by Al Qutami and vice captain Balbir Singh
The last competition of the year, a Club Stableford, will be held on Friday.
