Darren Harris delivered a stellar performance, carding a net 60 to claim victory in the BMMI Heineken Medal, narrowly surpassing Susan Scott’s impressive net 63. Nasser Yaqoob Saleh secured the best gross round with a solid 69, reinforcing his status as a strong contender for the upcoming Bahrain Open.

Held on Friday, April 4, the tournament marked the first post-Eid competition, setting the stage for the 60th Bahrain Open and 36th Bahrain Ladies Open on April 18-19. Scott set an early benchmark with a gross 83 (net 63), but Harris’s consistent play—featuring pars and bogeys—culminated in a career-best gross 82 (net 60).

Mohamed Ali Al Kowari won Division One with a net 68, while Dowon Pyun edged Sun Kyu Kwak on countback in Division Two, both finishing with net 67. Ali Musbah took second in Division One (net 70), and Shuvendu Bakshi was runner-up in Division Three (net 67), though Scott dominated the category.

Prizes, including the Russell Cup and Memorial Trophy, were presented by Captain Steve Newall and Tournament Directors Nathan Sundaresan and Rashed Fares Al Qutami. BMMI’s continued support was acknowledged for ensuring another successful event.
