The UAE Under-18 Boys' Team clinched the Silver Medal, finishing second to Morocco at the 54-hole Pan Arab Youth Golf Championships held at The Residences Golf Course in Gammarth, Tunisia.
Leading the UAE charge was Rayan Ahmed, who posted a final-round score of 74 to finish with a total of 215, one under par.
Ahmed's performance earned him the Silver Medal, four shots behind Morocco's Youssef El Hali. El Hali's consistent rounds of 69, 72, and 70 gave him a five under par total of 211, securing the Gold Medal.
Despite an impressive start, first-round leader Mohamad Skaik finished tied for fifth, narrowly missing out on an individual medal.
General Abdullah Al Hashmi, Vice-Chairman of the Golf Federation, expressed immense pride in the teams' outstanding performance over the past week.
“We are all extremely proud of our teams’ performance this past week. The hard work and dedication to training truly paid off,” he remarked. “This achievement will serve as a springboard into the season ahead.”
While celebrating their success, he emphasized the importance of reflection and the understanding that much work still lies ahead.
"On behalf of Chairman Shaikh Fahim Bin Sultan, the Federation would like to thank our coaches and administration. This success is a true team accomplishment," Al Hashmi added.
In the team competition, Morocco dominated, winning the Gold Medal by eight strokes.
The UAE team, comprised of Ahmed, Skaik, and Neyl Cherrat, secured Silver, while the host nation, Tunisia, took home the Bronze Medal, finishing 13 shots behind the UAE.
The team format featured the best two scores from each team of three players each day, with the course measuring 6,800 yards. Both the Boys Under-18 and Boys Under-16 divisions were recognized as World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) events, supported by The R&A.
In the Under-16 Boys' Individual Division, UAE players also performed well, with Mohamed Thabet finishing tied for 12th, Abdullah Darwish in 17th, and Abdullah Saleem in 18th place.
Participating countries in the Pan Arab Boys' Divisions included Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Tunisia, and the UAE.
