The Montgomerie and Emirates Golf Club member fired a blistering 43 points over the Majlis course, a gross 78.

A consistent card included two birdies on the 11^th and 13^th, if it wasn’t for a triple bogey 7 on the par four 16^th it would have been an even more impressive tally.

On a day of low scoring over the Karl Litten designed course, Jai Bhalla and George Fitchet signed for 42 points, 6-under par, it was Fitchet who took runners-up place with a better back nine.

The women’s section was also a tight contest with the Desai sisters, Shloka and Aashaka, both carding 36 points. Shloka took the prize following her 16 points on the inward half. Tony Azoulay followed his third place finish in the Summer Open the week before by clinching best gross of the day with a level par 72.

Also in the prizes from the 103-strong field were Trevor Belcher and Li Shui Hua following their accuracy off the tee on the nearest the pin prize holes, the 7^th and 11^th respectively.
