Victor Ponta shot the round of the day to win the regular monthly Senior Champions Tour (TSCT) over Abu Dhabi Golf Club’s National Course.

Ponta’s 43 Stableford Points saw him triumph over a field of 40 players.

Highlights of the 11-handicapper’s round were a birdie, a net eagle four-pointer on hole 1, and nines of 21 and 22, for the equivalent of a gross 76 (net 65).

In the runner-up spot in Division A, seven points back, was Eun Joon with a solid 36 points off his scratch handicap which gave him the Best Gross prize.

The Division B champion was Gerard Ber with 41 points.

Vijay Vasu, Co-founder of TSCT told Khaleej Times: “It is a mandate of ours to take the Tour around the UAE, so it was a pleasure to visit Abu Dhabi Golf Club.
