Playoff Finish for the EGF Order of Merit Championship

(Ajman, UAE) – On May 12, 2024, the Emirates Golf Federation host the final round of the 2024 Order of Merit Championship at Al Zorah Golf Club. In a thrilling finish, both the Men’s and Ladies’ Divisions went to a playoff to crown the champions. 54 holes wasn’t enough for our two mains divisions as Dominic Morton won the Men’s Division and Jamie Camero won the Ladies’ Division.

This weekend, 50 players took the course for the season-ending Order of Merit Championship. The final Championship counted toward the EGF overall Order of Merit season result holding double points towards the season results.

The Men’s Division went to a one-hole playoff between Dominic Morton and Viktor Kofod Olsen. Securing the victory with a birdie on the first hole Morton was consistent all weekend with rounds of 73-71-72 for a 216 (even-par) for the championship.

There was another thrilling finish in the Ladies’ Division as Jamie Camero edged out Intissar Rich in a two-hole playoff. Both ladies are coming off a very strong season and look to continue their form over the summer representing the Emirates Golf Federation in several international professional and amateur championships in Europe.

The Junior Division was played in 36 holes, and there were both Boys and Girls Divisions. In the Boy’s Division, we saw a tight finish as Simon Astorm won by one stroke over Thomas Buchard. Astrom shot an impressive 2-under-par, 142 total for the championship.

Daul Kim was the outright winner in the Girls Division securing the Championship title by 6 strokes. Sophia Zbiri was the Running Up for the Girls Division.

During the event, Jay Mullane had a Hole-in-One on hole number 15.
