Mousa Shana’ah battled the extreme conditions to successfully defend his title at the JA Amateur Golf Championship and in the process bank some vital World Amateur Golf Ranking points. The Jordanian youngster shot 69, 70 and 76 over the three rounds to take top spot by Jay Chinchankar in second and Syed Rayan Ahmed in third.
Despite the rising temperatures, 80 golfers arrived at the Fire course to go head-to-head the Jumeirah Pairs but there could only be one winning pair and that came in the form of Drew Foxcroft and Paul McMahon, who posted an excellent score of net 63. The pair played remarkably well managing to card 8 birdies and 1 eagle in their round. Narrowly losing out to a card playoff were Jack Wanliss and Gary Williams, who sunk five net birdies in a row from hole 14 to 18.
