Ahmed Skaik was the individual star as the UAE achieved its best placing at the Pan Arab Golf Championship since 2011.

Skaik was fifth individually on three under par to spearhead the UAE to fourth place among the 12 teams contesting the 38th edition of the teams’ championship at The Residence in La Marsa, Tunisia.

Rounds of 71-72-75-67 for a 285, aggregate left Skaik three shots behind the third placed finishers and 11 shots back adrift of individual gold medalists  Souadi Ayoub (Morocco). Khalid Yousuf was the next best of the UAE contingent, three consecutive rounds of 74 and a closing 71 for 293 total leaving him 12th.

Finishing in 23rd and 24th place were Mohamed Adel Al Hajeri (302) and Saif Thabet (304) respectively.

“We are very proud of our team’s accomplishments over this weekend. To have our best finish in seven years displays that our teams’ are working hard and pushing each other to be their best,” said Emirates Golf Federation Secretary General, Khalid Mubarak Al Shamsi.

“The team showed strength and unity this weekend, after a full two months of travelling while playing in golf tournaments all over the world and to finish as strong as we did demonstrates the desire our team has for this game.”

Rayhan Thomas rates his selection for the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia among his proudest achievements, a big call when you consider the prestigious events the teen has already contested in his fledgling career.

“I played in Asia Pacific Amateur Championship and Nomura Cup for India earlier but when I tee off in the Asian Games, it will be different feeling for me and the whole family,” said the 18-year-old, Dubai-domiciled MENA Tour player who will represent India in the team and individual championships at Jakarta’s Pondok Indah G.C.

Now, UAE interest in the continent’s largest, Commonwealth Games style multi-sport event has been tripled with Mohamed Adel Al Hajeri and Reema Al Heloo confirmed to represent the country at the Aug. 23-26 tournament.

Al Hajeri, 17, and 16-year-old Al Heloo will contest the respective men’s and women’s individual strokeplay events over 72 holes.

The young Emirati duo ramped up their preparation four months ago and joined the wider UAE squad at a two week summer camp in Germany last month where physical fitness and mental preparation were the focus.

“We feel that our players are ready to compete and represent the UAE at the best of their ability,” said Emirates Golf Federation Secretary General and National Team Manager, Khalid Mubarak Al Shamsi.

“Representing the UAE at the Asian Games will be a great honour and achievement for Reema and Mohamed. The Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) is proud of the hard work and determination that they have put into their preparation.”
