Second Saudi qualifier for ‘Race to Georgia’ golf series held in Riyadh
The second KSA qualifier for the “Race to Georgia” regional amateur golf series - powered by Reza Hygiene - was held at Riyadh Golf Club on Friday, Dec. 1, 2022.
The course was in immaculate condition, having just hosted the Mena tour earlier in the week, and attracted a field of 84 players for an 8am shotgun start. Players were competing for two qualifier positions to the "Race to Georgia" Grand Regional Finale, hosted at The Montgomerie Golf Club in Dubai on 25 February 2022. The top 2 players from the Grand Regional Finale will qualify to play in the world finals to be played in Augusta, Georgia during April’s ‘Masters week’, with the opportunity to attend the Major golf tournament as patrons.
The Riyadh Golf Club qualifier was very closely contested with players scoring well despite the 75% handicap adjustment. After all scorecards were submitted, 2nd placed Avinash Pangarkar, 36 points and winner Benjamin Blackaby, 38 points, walked away with the honours as qualifiers for the Grand Regional Finale. Several other players were rewarded for the 6 side contests, with great prizes donated by Reza Hygiene, Rezaroma, Dyson, EMAAR Hospitality and Papa Johns Pizza.
