Dave Hick claimed the first place prize in the Emirates Golf Federation Medal on his home soil at Al Badia Golf Club on Friday.

Hick played off a course handicap of 15, shooting a net score of 68, (4-under). Hick had a total of six net birdies and five net pars.

O’Connor was playing off an 11 handicap, and shot a net score of 70 (2-under), collecting six net birdies, eight net pars, and carding nothing higher than four net bogies.

Taking home the third place prize was Iain Milligan who finished even par after shooting an impressive eagle.

There was also on course competitions that were up for grabs during the event sponsored by Jaermann & Stübi.

The Longest Drive Competition winner was Saif Thabet representing the Emirates Golf Federation. The winner of the Nearest to the Pin competition on Hole No. 11, was David McCready, also representing the Emirates Golf Federation.
