The tournament welcomed 25 teams, a strong line-up of professionals that consisted of former European Tour winners, current Ladies European Tour players and MENA Tour golfers. It proved to be tight at the top after the first day at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club with Emanuele Canonica (ex-European Tour professional) leading but closely followed by Heraty, Busher and LET golfer Noemi Jimenez Martin all shooting a one under par 71 to tie for second place. The second round took place on Yas Links Abu Dhabi, which is the first time this stunning Troon course has been added to this championship. This track certainly suited the eye of Tom Shadbolt who shot a spectacular 66 to join Heraty at the summit of the leaderboard on four under par.
After a night of go-karting at Yas Marina Circuit, the golfers needed to be just as quick off the mark in the final round of the Pro-Am which was played at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, with a number of golfers in contention to seal the championship. It was a thrilling finale with Busher and Heraty both tied at the top, Busher handled the pressure impressively by getting up and down for birdie to his team’s delight. This meant that Heraty needed an eagle on the iconic 18th to force a playoff but could only manage a par to give defending Champion Busher.
