Luke Plumb, representing JA The Resort, shot a five under par 67 to win the recent Emirates PGA event at Yas Links, Abu Dhabi.

The greens were a real test as they are ready for the busy golf season ahead.

David Gray, Managing Director of the Emirates PGA said,: "A big thanks to Yas Links, Abu Dhabi and especially to Martin Duff and his team for hosting the Emirates PGA.

"So far this year we have had scores of -7, -6. -3 and -4 winning our first four events on this season’s Emirates PGA calendar.

"We have some exceptionally talented PGA pros here in the UAE and it is important that we let everyone know how well they can play the game – especially over 18 holes," concluded Gray.
