David Ryan, General Manager of Wattayah Motors, said: “The Oman edition of the Audi quattro Cup brought together enthusiastic golfers who share the passion and drive to perform. It was yet another exhilarating experience for the players, as well as the organisers.
“The Audi quattro Cup is an incredible opportunity for golfers in Oman. We thank Muscat Hills Golf & Country Club for the great venue and support in organising the tournament. We are certain that this tournament will further promote Oman’s growing reputation as an ideal golfing destination.”
Congratulating the winners, he said: “We wish them the best of luck for the finals in Mexico as they pit their skills against other winning teams from 50 countries. We commend all the other winners of the Oman event and thank everyone for taking part and making it such a great day.”
This series is special as every team winning its regional tournament is being invited to the national final and thus has the opportunity to qualify for the world final to be held in Mexico.
