Andy’s delight at Dubai win
Andy, from Cranleigh, scored a total of 410 points for his performances over the the Wadi by Faldo Course at the Emirates Golf Club; Dubai Creek Golf Club; and the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates. His total saw off Hampshire-based Richard Harris by ten shots.
The nine handicapper said: “I didn’t think rounds of 30, 31 and 28 would be enough to win but it shows you how tough the conditions are – it was also very windy and the courses were all new to us. I came for the experience mainly and just wanted to play steady golf. It was fantastic to win such a great tournament.”
Andy battled through a local league and a regional final last year to earn his place in Dubai.
