Prodigy and Recruit emerge victorious

Rookie Prodigy Lai held his nerve to win the season-ending DRM 12th Monthly Medal Overall by two shots in RBGCC, Jerudong, on Saturday.

The Prodigy carded 2 birdies and 10 pars to earn his place for next years spot in the DRM Golf Tour.

Red Knights Board of Director, Ang Swee Meng, who closed to within two shots, ended with a nett score of 80 for second place.

The highlights of the day….
The pre BOTB Tour $3.0M event featured a starting field of 30 that was trimmed to 28 after withdrawal of the Serial and Abdullah Nawi was a tight battle for everyone.

The Recruit, determined since joining the DRM Tour finally produced one of his best game ever, scoring a nett score of 81 and scooping the inaugural DRM Champion.
And the Recruit became the first golfer to trail the field by a wide margin (12 strokes). With the win he automatically confirmed his spot for the upcoming BOTB.

Recruit outclassed the DRM field scoring 1 birdie and 4 pars enough to put his name on the DRM Challenge Trophy. His closest rival on that day was Mad Cat, scoring a nett score of 94, also managed to confirm his spot for the BOTB this December.

"He deserved this title, and he has almost won the tour several time but it seems today was his day" Mad Cat said.

"This is just the perfect way to end a great first year for me on tour, and confirm my spot for the BOTB" recruit quoted after the game.

Real Deal and the Gold Tee Maniac got a smacked in the face and woken up to reality, after producing their worst results of the year. GT who only managed to produce ONE par on that day was forced to eat his word (after self declaring his handicap to 4) after finishing with a nett score of 96.

Fairway Artist (Mr 101) returned after a long spell of rest also managed to scoop some prize money in the DRM Top 10 but not enough to clinch an automatic spot for the BOTB. Satisfied with his performance, he outclassed his rivals Gold Buaya and Hardcore Hitter.

The Coach also shared his winning with DRM Baby Faced Assasin (Amy) tied on 9th place. Both will feature in this Saturday’s qualifying round for BOTB.

Prize Money List Leaderboard was also finalized on that day (see below), with the Golf Freak taking advantage of the absence of LOTP and taking back the Number 1 spot for prize Money ranking of the season.

Pictures will be posted in soon.
