Dubai: Joseph Ghossoub, Chief Executive Officer of the Holding Group, and Fadi Mehio, Managing Director of Al Araka Decor, won the Middle East Corporate Cup presented by Dubai Sports City at The Montgomerie Dubai yesterday with 43 points.

They now qualify for the final of the Corporate Masters at Monte Rei in November.

The runners-up on 41 points were Mohammed Al Murad and Jonathan Mellor, while Asim Arshad Managing Director of travel sponsors Orient Travel and his partner Bayer Khan finished 3rd on 40 points after a count-back.

"We at Dubai Sports City are delighted with the inaugural event.

"It has given us a great opportunity to showcase our proposition to the business leaders who will live and play their golf at Dubai Sports City. We also look forward to the Corporate Masters coming to the Dunes at Victory Heights next year."
