Nasha extends Order of Merit table lead with Dufry Ladies Open show

Dubai: Nasha Sarkari extended her lead in the Emirates Golf Federation's Order of Merit table after turning in some impressive performances in the Dufry Ladies Open and the Dubai Creek Ladies Amateur Open tournaments.

The talented Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht player produced the second best 36-hole gross score of 160 after winner Agnes Anwar (159) of Emirates Golf Federation at the Dubai Creek event to finish fourth at the Dufry Ladies Open at Sharjah Golf and Shooting Club, just four shots behind winner Lindsey Brown.

With these back-to-back strong showing, Nasha has taken her tally to 106 points, well ahead of her nearest challenger Michaela Hlouskova (55). Nasha looks well poised to win the title as only two more events are remaining in the Order of Merit of table this season.

The race of the second and third places, however, is wide open with a number of golfers in with a chance of making it to the podium finish. Hlouskova and Nanna Nielsen (46) Sana Tufail (44) and Ashley Anderson (36.5) all stand a good chance of ending the season on a good note. Nasha also leads the race in the Net division with 76.5 points.
