Shergo takes Faldo title

AMMAN — Shergo Al Kurdi beat a host of top young golfers to land the Faldo Series England Midlands Championship event at Trentham Golf Club at the weekend, according to the Jordan Olympic Committee News Service.

The youngster carded a final round 70 (two-under) to win his age category and provide a timely reminder that he is in top form going into the U-16 Italian Championship, where he will be the first ever Jordanian taking part.

“It was a tough three days of competition,” said Shergo. “I had a difficult start, but I bounced back on the final day to win. I couldn’t be happier.”
