Paul Donovan and Neil Phillips are through to the 19th Xerox Corporate Golf Challenge Grand Final but the latest “Race to Earth” qualifier was a photo finish.
Representing Arbuthonot Latham, the duo produced a better-ball net score of 68 at Trump International Golf Club, Dubai in the region’s premier amateur event.
But Donovan and Phillips, pictured accepting their prizes from The Xerox Emirates General Manager Chris Govier, needed a count-back to overcome Akash Kumar and Anaud Kapoor after the Midcom pair also signed for a three-under net score.

Al Zorah – Thursday, November 23 (1pm shotgun) The Address Montgomerie Dubai – Thursday, December 7 (1pm shotgun)
Both qualifiers will include an exclusive reception with Meluha & MMI as participants at Trump enjoyed.
