I managed my game extremely well and was able to play very consistently over the two days,” Yousuf said after raising the trophy for the first time since 2015.
“The team at Yas Links did a great job with the course set and running the event very smoothly. With over 110 players competing in five different divisions, it’s always tough for operations but Yas Links continuously manages top-level championships.”
