Bahrain’s school students shine

Manama : Five students from St Christopher’s School Bahrain representing the Royal Golf Club at the recent Emirates Golf Club Junior Open 2016 in Dubai, came away with several top prizes.

Yaseen Le Falher, 16-year- old, (gross 72) won the Overall Junior Trophy and narrowly beat two other players on count back.

Ronan Smith, 14-year- old, shot an incredible (61 nett) to win the trophy having recorded his best ever gross score of 79.

Both boys also won the two nearest the pin side contests on offer. The other three St Christopher’s students, Charles t’Kint, Sebastian Woodrow and Alexandre Hopman-Ruh, also performed admirably around the Club’s famous Faldo Course.

“I’m delighted to see my students performing so well in such a prestigious regional event,” said Juanma Fuentes, Royal Golf Club Teaching Professional. “They have all worked hard on improving their games and it’s great to see this effort paying off.”
