The first round of the Audi Quattro Cup Series at the Royal Golf Club was a closely fought affair that saw MENA Tour player Sam Hobday edge out the competition to take the honours with 36 stableford points, just ahead of runner-up Ahmed Majid who achieved 35 points.
As reported recently in GWeekly, former St Christopher’s School pupil Hobday, now 22, returned from a four-year college experience in America aiming to tee-off his professional golfing career later this year.
Saqer Al Noaimi and Gordon Bennie won the 2’s Club contest on hole 12 and Peter Mutti won on hole 16. A field of over 30 players turned out to do battle at the Royal Golf Club despite
strong winds and chilly temperatures.
The Audi Quattro Cup Series will be played out over a total of six rounds at the Royal Golf Club, with participants accumulating stableford points over the series. The series winners of the Bahrain tournament will have an opportunity to go forward and compete in the world finals, which this year will be held at the prestigious Quivira Golf Club in Cabo San Luca, Mexico, in December.
With more than 100,000 players competing in 750 tournaments in 54 countries annually, the Audi Quattro Cup has developed into the biggest worldwide amateur golf tournament series.
