KURDI WARMS UP FOR ARAB CHAMPS WITH WIN
Oct 09, 2016
Shergo Kurdi continued his sizzling form at the weekend by winning another tournament in England ahead of the Arab Amateur Championships from October 17-23.
Kurdi, 13, retained his Cottesmore Junior Open title against some of the best U14 players in southern England with a solid 78.
It was held in tough conditions but he played well to win by three shots, and adds the title to the Nike Rookie Tour Order of Merit crown that he won for a third successive year only two weeks earlier.
It was excellent preparation for the Arab tournament taking place in Sinai, Egypt, where he will be joined by teammates Khaled Mohammad Elayan and Mousa Shana'a in the U15 competition while Ramzi Mahmoud, Abduallah Al Otaibi and Ahmad Al Khatib will play in the U18 tournament for Jordan.
Meanwhile, Kurdi’s form has caught the eye of Sky Sports who have invited him to compete in Wednesday’s Pro-Am which is a prequel to the British Masters being played at the Grove resort in Hertfordshire from Thursday.
There was more golfing success too for Jordan last week with Shana'a, nine, winning the J9CUP series in Dubai, while his brother Hashim placed fifth.
