England’s Aaron Rai showcased his exceptional form by leading Team BMW AGMC 1 to victory in the morning Rolex Pro-Am at the DP World Tour Championship. The event, held at the prestigious Earth Course in Jumeirah Golf Estates, served as a prelude to the $10 million season finale. Rai, currently ranked ninth in the Race to Dubai Rankings, partnered with amateurs Sandeep Singh, Randeep Singh, and Satnam Kaur to post a remarkable 33-under-par score, securing the win through a back-nine countback. This triumph follows Rai’s recent success at the $9 million Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, further cementing his status as a formidable contender in the golfing world. The afternoon session saw professional Jacques Kruyswijk and his team clinch victory with an astounding 37-under-par round, also decided by a last nine-hole countback. Football legend Ruud Gullit, playing in the Emirates 3 team, added a touch of star power to the event, finishing mid-field but winning the Nearest the Pin prize on hole 6. The amateur participants, who qualified through the UAE Pro-Am Challenge, competed in a series of events leading up to the Grand Final on the Fire Course, with winners receiving prestigious Rolex Pro-Am team prizes.
