There was a separate prize category for the golf professionals where they played Individual Strokeplay.
Winners of the Team Stableford were Emirates Golf Club’s Dong Lee, Suk Chang Jung, Changhoe Han, and Young Joon Ahn who shot an impressive 90 Stableford points.
An eagle on the par 5 third from Dong Lee followed up by a net eagle on the fourth from Changhoe Han proved vital in the teams’ efforts to take home the title.
