‘This is my first win on the MENA Tour and having lost out in a few playoffs it is great to win. When I walked off hole number 12 if I go deep I will have a chance. Everything was working for me today and I didn’t make one mistake and hit all the greens within 15 feet. This course is now my favorite course, and the back nine you can fire away quickly. I am now off to play on the tour in South Africa and see if I can win the MENA Tour order of merit.
