UAE’s No.1 golfer set to continue his tryst with DP World Tour in Ras Al Khaimah
Dubai:The UAE's No.1 golf player, Ahmad Skaik is savoring the possibility of one more opportunity to tee it up close by the absolute best players on the planet when he joins the field at the current week's debut Ras Al Khaimah Championship introduced by Phoenix Capital, occurring at Al Hamra Golf Club from Thursday to Sunday (February 3-6), trailed by the following week's Ras Al Khaimah Classic, set to be played over a similar course.
It will be the 24-year-old's 6th appearance in a DP World Tour occasion and he uncovered that he's turning out to be increasingly more agreeable under the spotlight in such a high-pressure climate.
"Whenever I first played a DP World Tour occasion, I just let the competition improve of me," said Skaik of his DP World Tour debut at the 2020 Golf in Dubai Championship introduced by DP World. "However, as you begin to play more, you understand that you're hitting a golf shot, it doesn't make any difference assuming you're playing an occasion or rehearsing, it's a similar golf shot, it's a similar fairway. I realize individuals are watching and need me to progress nicely yet you simply need to zero in on the shot close by and allowed the preparation to dominate."
Last year's AVIV Dubai Championship proclaimed another period for golf in the UAE afterSkaik checked the most reduced DP World Tour round by an Emirati in history on the first day of the season with a great four under-standard 68 over the Fire course at Jumeirah Golf Estates. It was the second progressive week the adolescent had stood out as truly newsworthy after his heroics at the earlier week's Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, where he turned out to be just the second Emirati to get it done.
Skaik continued to barely miss the cut at Jumeirah Golf Estates and did as such again at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and Slync.io Dubai Desert Classic last month, yet he has one more chance to turn into the primary Emirati to play the last 36 openings at DP World Tour occasion when he tees it up for quite some time in Ras Al Khaimah.
It just so happens, Skaik has a lot of involvement of the difficulties the Al Hamrah presents - on account of his various excursions at Emirates Golf Federation-endorsed competitions just as the Ras Al Khaimah National Matchplay Challenge, an element which should help him in the two forthcoming occasions.
"I like the course and I believe it's a great arrangement," he said, adding: "It was a pleasant encounter playing similar course arrangement as the stars of the Challenge Tour two or three years prior, so I sort of had a vibe of how to handle the trickier arrangements and the course was in perfect condition.
"Al Hamra gives a pleasant test and I'm eager to play the very first DP World Tour occasion there," Skaik added.
