Dubai: Qamar Rasheed won the inaugural Porsche Ramadan Golf Cup with a stableford score of 38 points at Emirates Golf Club on Saturday.
Kevin Roy also carded 38 points but was beaten into second place on a countback, with third place going to Paul Donovan on 36 points. Rajinder Razdan, Paul Hanlin and Alok Pant, who each scored 35 points, completed the top six, each of whom automatically qualified for the new annual Porsche Match Play Championship getting under way next month, and the Porsche Champions Trophy taking place in December.
Played on the Faldo course, the first Porsche Ramadan Golf Cup was open to all club members, Porsche owners and non-members. Next up is the inaugural Porsche Match Play Championship, running between August 1 to November 30, and featuring five categories — men’s and ladies’ singles, men’s and ladies’ doubles, and mixed doubles.
Taking place on the Majlis course in December, the Porsche Champions Trophy is being staged to recognise the top performers in Porsche golf events at the club throughout the year. With men’s and ladies’ singles categories, the 36-hole event will feature the top 24 match play performers, as well as the top six from the Porsche Ramadan Golf Cup. Porsche Centre Dubai’s golf initiatives are supported by RSA and The Rivoli Group.
