Saudi Arabia’s own, Othman Al-Mulla, picked up the Men’s Gold Medal in the recent Saudi Games.

The Saudi Games are a national competition for various Saudi sports organised by the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee, with 41 competitors from Canada, Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Tunisia taking part.

Al-Mulla not only picked up the first placed prize at Riyadh Golf Club last week, but 1000,000 Saudi riyals in doing so.

A two-shot victory for the inaugural professional Saudi Arabian golfer who scored rounds of 70, 69 for a five under par, 139 36-hole tournament total.

In second spot with the Silver Medal was his countryman Saud Al-Sharif on three under par, who pocketed 300,000 Saudi riyals. As Faisal Salhab made it a clean sweep for Saudi Arabia in the Men’s Medal’s by collecting Bronze and 100,000 Saudi riyals.

All three Male Medal winners are competing in this week’s US$1 million Saudi Open presented by Public Investment Fund  at Riyadh Golf Club with amateurs Khalid Walid Attieh, Ali Alsakha and Prince Khalid Saud Al-Faisal also flying the flag for the Kingdom.

In the Ladies Division, Belgium’s Alexandra Van Oordt, a Saudi Arabian resident, won the gold medal via a play-off win over fellow Saudi Arabia resident Ghozlene Saki from Tunisia.

While collecting the Bronze Medal was again Saudi Arabia resident, Lujain Khalil from Canada.
