The final of the UGA Junior Order of Merit qualifying tournament takes place this weekend at the newly opened Tower Links Golf Club, Ras Al Khaimah.

Heading the 15-strong field is the current leader of the Order of Merit, Andy Andrew, who will be trying to defend the title for the first time.

Andrew looks certain to win the title as his closest challenger from the Order of Merit, Jae Jun Hong, will not be playing.

Those planning to make a move in the table and aim for a top three finish include Shezad Lakadawala and Joel Neale who are only separated by eight points respectively for the third position.

Second place does look unlikely as they are both some way off second place. Other notable contenders around the challenging links course include the recent Emirates Junior Open Champion Eric Hesson, Joel Neale who is trying his best to make up for what has been a disappointing season so far and the ever improving Sean Thornberry.

Nasha Sarkari is the only girl competing and will be keen to further strengthen her position at the top of the table.
