Runner up was another past club captain Mukti Rai also on a score of thirty five points and unfortunately for Mukti he lost out on countback. Third place also posting thirty five points which proved to be a very popular number was SGSC Vice-Captain Abdul Moiz Khan, Abdul was delighted with his performance and happy to go home with third place.
In the super senior division for golfers aged 60+ it was Russell Yeomans who went home with the trophy, Russell had a very solid round of golf to post thirty three stableford points. Russel pipped SGSC Captain Ravi AE only on countback, Ravi took home the spoils as runner up in the Super Seniors Division.
The gross division was won by Mark McNeilly who had a really steady round of golf posting a gross score of thirty one points to be the SGSC 10th Seniors Open Gross Champion.
The event was played in great spirit throughout the day and the field from all across the UAE further afield were full of praise for a golf course that is in fantastic condition.
