The Audi quattro Cup, potentially the world’s most important amateur golf event, is drawing to a close for the 2009 season. After the Middle East qualification tournaments held in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait over the last few months, the finalists gathered for the regional final at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club to compete for participation in the Audi quattro Cup World Final in Australia in December.

In fantastic weather conditions Thomas Jivung and Carl Palmlund, both Swedish nationals from Kuwait, prevailed by scoring 43 Stableford points with a better scoring back nine holes ahead of Vikram Arora and John Thomas from Dubai who also scored 43. Xander de Wet and Richard Mylrae came in a close third with 42 points.

“It’s great to be able to compete on a worldwide level as an amateur. Among about 75,000 participants worldwide we made it to the world final and had great fun along the way. The Audi guys are doing a great job with that” said Palmlund.

The Audi quattro Cup is one of the many events brought to the region by the AudiExperience. Others include the Audi Afterwork Lounges, concerts as well as the Audi DrivingExperience courses held at the Dubai Autodrome.
