The third Golf Digest Middle East Oktoberfest was a thrilling success at The Els Club Dubai on Friday, with Nathan Fisher and Graham Worth picking up the coveted 2024 Hero Dubai Desert Classic Pro-Am playing spots.

There were prizes on offer across the course during the shotgun-start stableford event, with players taking home drinks, golf bags, car and buggy hire, and prized hospitality tickets for the 2024 Hero Dubai Desert Classic and Emirates Dubai 7s.

Fisher was the toast of the prize-giving ceremony, thanks to his day’s best gross score of 69 topping the leaderboard and he is relishing the chance to rub shoulders with the best players in the world at Emirates Golf Club from January 18-21.

“To be honest, I do not mind whom I play with as it is an honour to just be on the stage with so many great players,” he said following his win.

“If I were to pick a dream playing partner it would have to be Rory McIlroy or Tommy Fleetwood, but I really do not mind as just being up there among those players is a dream come true.”

The winners!

Win or lose, everyone seemed to have a great day out, thanks to the hosts at The Els Club and the sponsors — Baker’s Kitchen, Luxury Supercar Rentals, Adidas and African + Eastern.

Some came dressed for the occasion with Darwin Holt and Worth sporting matching peacock shirts.

“It has been a great day. Everything has exceeded my expectations in terms of organisation and everything that has been laid on for us,” said Holt.

“I will be back again 100 per cent,” added Worth, whose 41 points secured top spot in Division A.
