Abou El Ela, El Sheikh, Scarello and Wakid to play for Egypt… 12th September 2009 Following a fascinating fourth qualifying round over the Championship course at Dreamland, venue for the forthcoming African Mens Team Championship from September 28th to October 2nd, the four name team to represent Egypt has been decided.
With Amr Abou Ela selected for the event by the Egyptian Golf Federation, it left for 3 players to be decided by 72 hole qualifying. The format took the best 3 scores from 4 over the four rounds for the individual total.
With Scarello and Shiekh comfortably clear with best 3 score totals of 226 and 221 respectively, it left a titanic battle for the 3 rd qualifying spot. The 3 players in contention played together over the final round with never more than a few shots separating the players.
It was Marmaras that found himself with a 4 foot putt on the final green to give him a 3 round total of 239, that would have meant a 1 shot victory. However it was not be and when Wakid secured an excellent par 4 at the last at a total of 240, it left a 3 way tie for the qualifying spot with EL Shafei, Marmaras and Wakid all tied on 240. It the event of a tie the fourth non counting score was to be used and it was Wakid’s final round 83 that bettered El Shafei’s 85 and Marmaras’s 84.
The following players therefore will play for Egypt in the Afican Team Championship from September 28th to October 2nd:
