KURDI CLINCHES JORDAN OPEN

Shergo Kurdi underlined his position as Jordan’s top golfer by winning the weekend’s Jordan Open.

Played at the impressive Ayla Golf Club in Aqaba, Kurdi led from the start and finished ahead of Saudi Arabia’s Othman Al Malla. Former champion, Rasheed Aqeel from Lebanon, finished third.

At 15, Shergo becomes the youngest winner of the tournament and Jordan Golf Federation President, Hani Al Abdullat, said: “Shergo is a tremendous ambassador for Jordan by playing well in tournaments across Europe and the Middle East so for him to finally clinch this title in his own country is something special for all of us.”
