Simon Dunn has got the opening Emirates Golf Federation Order of Merit counting event of the season in the books by winning The Oberoi Beach Resort Al Zorah Men's Open.
An opening round of 75 at Al Zorah, Ajman was backed up with a two under par 70 today to win by one stroke.
It really was a tale of two nines for Simon as he went out in 38, potentially thinking all hope was gone. To only rally back with a simply stunning back nine of four birdies in the space of five holes to sign for a 32, two under par total.
Coming out on top in the net division was Mark Shawyer (HCP 2) after rounds of 69 and 73 for a two under par. Narrowly missing out on the gross division as well as he was the overnight leader after the first round.
