Abu Dhabi: The Fast-Rent-A-Car sponsored second International Cup golf event will be held at the Abu Dhabi Golf and Equestrian Club today.

Foursome and four-ball matches will be played in the morning sessions, with singles matches teeing off in the afternoon", said Stephen Canning, the organiser of the tournament.
