Dubai: Madav Nair carried on his recent great form to claim his maiden BMW medal victory at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club on Saturday.
Weather conditions were very tough with a testing breeze but even after a quadruple bogey on the 18th hole, Nair still managed to score an amazing net 66 to win by four shots from the rest of the field.
Runner-up in the Men's Division 'B' was Robert Platt with a consistent net 74. Men's Division 'A' witnessed Craig McBride's post a net 70 to win by one shot from runner-up Kuttan Malattiti.
He finished on a net 71 but was left dismayed after a triple bogey on the short par-three fifth hole - his second to last hole of the round - denied him a division win.
Nasha Sarkari shot a net 73 to win the Ladies Division by three shots from Lisa Rider's great effort of net 76 of a 33 handicap in tricky conditions.
