MUSCAT: The second event of the 2022 GOjuniors Tour took place at Ghala Golf Club last weekend.

Established by the Oman Golf Association and supported by Oman LNG and all the golf clubs in Muscat the GOjuniors Tour provides an opportunity for junior golfers to compete and to meet golfers from other clubs. As well as the 10 events held throughout the year there is a running Order of Merit across the three age divisions.

In the oldest age group, the under 18’s, there were three players tied in the gross category (the score without any golfing handicap adjustment) with rounds of 82. In this instance the tie is resolved by looking at the players last 9 holes, after doing this it was junior national team player Ayman al Busaidi who took the win ahead of James Acebedo and Rayaan Ahmed. Ayman’s round had started poorly with a first 9 holes of 45, however he rallied well on the back 9 holes to post a one over par 37 for a total of 82 and the top spot in the gross category on ‘countback’. There was some consolation for James who, when taking handicaps into account, was awarded the best net score with a level par net 72.
