The Bahraini pairing of Abdulla Sultan and Shaker Hubail enjoyed an easy victory in the second competition of the new six-week African & Eastern Monday Madness Night Golf Series at the Royal Golf Club (RGC).
The duo achieved an impressive score of 25 points giving them a comfortable three-point cushion over the runners-up.
The second place was more difficult to discern with an incredible nine teams tied on 22 points. After considerable mathematical calculations, Stephen Key and Daryl Fidge were awarded second place and Murtuz Zamanly and Bijan Majidi took third place on countback.
