Ebrahim and Badea Esbai were crowned champions of the inaugural Audi Quattro Cup tournament held in Bahrain.

The brothers secured the top spot on the leaderboard after scoring 44 points in the 18-hole Greensomes competition, which was played on the Royal Golf Club's Montgomerie championship course.

The husband-and-wife team of Albert and Evelyn Hug took second place when they completed the day with 40 points. Kevin O'Malley and Jim Finucane finished the tournament with 37 points and were placed third on countback.

Following their victory, the Esbai brothers will represent Bahrain in the Audi Quattro Cup Middle East Final, which is scheduled to take place at a yet-to-be-confirmed regional venue in June.

There they will compete against the winners of Quattro Cup tournaments held around the region. The regional champions then qualify for the Audi Quattro Cup World Final in Italy, which is most likely to be played in October.
