08.03 LPGA Tour:
Thailand beste spiller ble verdensmester
Avgjørelsen falt å play off.

Det måtte omspill til for å kåre årets verdensmester i Abu Dhabi.

Thailands beste spiller, som nylig vant på Europa Tour'en, klarte å slå en av de andre vinnerne på årets Europa Tour; sydafrikaneren Charl Schwartzel på det andre omspillshullet.

Her er rapporten fra VM i sandgolf i Abu Dhabi som ble spilt på mandag. I fjor ble Henrik Bjørnstad nr. 2 etter Gren Owen.

JAIDEE TAKES WORLD SAND GOLF TITLE IN DRAMATIC PLAY-OFF IN THE ABU DHABI DESERT

Thailand’s number one golfer Thongchai Jaidee edges out South African Charl Schwartzel in the sands of Abu Dhabi

In-form Thongchai Jaidee has been crowned the 2005 Abu Dhabi World Sand Golf Champion winning a dramatic play-off against South African starlet Charl Schwartzel. Jaidee also saw off the challenge of the likes of Colin Montgomerie, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Paul McGinley in the unique event that saw 23 European tour players take a break from the norm and compete on a golf course made entirely from sand!

Jaidee’s six under par 65, including a run of four birdies in a row on the front nine, looked to be good enough for victory until Schwartzel held a birdie putt on the 18th brown to earn a play-off. Jaidee then returned the favour in the play-off holing a putt from similar length on the second play-off hole (18th) to win the championship at Al Ghazal Golf Club, Abu Dhabi.

The field included a star–studded line up that included 21 European Tour winners from no less than 18 different countries and Jaidee took advantage of his sand golf experience from the 2004 event to post a good score “It is easier second time around as I got the pace of the browns straight away. I putted really well today, much better than in Dubai last week and I wish I could play on browns all the time! I like the heat here too as I am used to it” Jaidee was presented with a cheque worth $10,000 by His Excellency Sheikh Dr Ahmed Bin Saif Al Nayhan, Chairman of the Department of Civil Aviation and commented at the prize ceremony, “this is a fantastic event and it feels very good to be a world champion”

This is the second year that the Abu Dhabi World Sand Golf Championship and it is rapidly establishing a reputation as a relaxed fun event for the tour professionals, sandwiched between the Dubai Desert Classic and the Qatar Masters. The main difference for the players on the par 71, 6700 yard course at Al Ghazal are the ‘browns’ (instead of greens) and the reward of a small astroturf mat to play from when you hit the fairways sculpted from sand. Ryder Cup hero Colin Montgomerie, who shot a level par 71, enjoyed the sand golf experience, “That was certainly a very different experience out there today, once you get used to the hitting off the astroturf mat and the pace of the browns it’s great fun. It makes a refreshing change from the real thing”
