Dubai: Sunny Ramadas walked away with the individual honours at the 2008 Dulsco Classic golf tournament at The Montgomerie.

Playing off a 12 handicap, Ramadas took the big prize with 37 stableford points, while Jihad Kiwan pipped Ahtisham Alam to second place on a countback after both had submitted cards of 35 points.

The team honours went to the quartet of Kushy Jadeja, Louis Scotto, Bharat Godkhindi and Sergy D'Souza. On a perfect day, which saw 22 teams line up, the side combined to score 80 points, giving them a two-shot win over Mark Siddorn, Shariar Khodjasteh, Jihad Kiwan and Christopher Berry.

Adrienne Fullerton, Kenneth D'Souza and Ijaz Anwar were closest-to-the-pin winners on the sixth, eighth and 17th holes respectively.

Anwar also had the longest drive on the 18th, while Ramadas and Shahriar Khodjasteh were the longest off the tee on the 12th and ninth.
