The Emirates Mixed Amateur Open recently gathered a competitive lineup of male and female golfers at the renowned Majlis Course of Emirates Golf Club, offering an exciting day of mixed-team play.
With 83 duos competing in a greensomes format, where the lower-handicapped partner receives a 60% handicap allowance and the higher 40%, the event highlighted EGC’s enduring support for inclusive golf competition.
Initially launched as a flagship mixed amateur event, the tournament has expanded in prestige, reflecting EGC’s commitment to innovative formats and encouraging mixed-gender participation.
This year’s tournament featured low scores, close finishes, and remarkable performances, culminating in notable achievements both individually and in teams.
The duo of Raza Hussain and Linda Mahoney excelled to win the overall champions’ title with an impressive net score of 63 (-9). Their effective teamwork, consistent play, and strategic course management distinguished them from a strong field.
