SHERGO CLOSES GAP AT THE TOP

Shergo Kurdi shot a solid second round 72 to close the gap to four shots on the leader at the 37th Arab Golf Championship being held in Aqaba at the world-class Ayla Course.

The 14-year-old shot the lowest round of the day of level par to chip away at the lead held by Morocco's Dahman Sufiani who shot a one-over 73.

Shergo moves up to fourth on the leaderboard with the final day set to produce a fight to the finish with a number of players still in contention.

Morroco remain in charge of the team event, with Egypt and Tunisia in second and third respectively. Jordan are eighth.
