LAHORE: Pakistan’s premier golf sensation, Ahmad Baig, has written a remarkable chapter in the country’s sporting history by delivering a sensational performance at the DP World Tour Qualifying School Second Stage, held at the Desert Springs Resort in Almería, Spain.
Displaying extraordinary composure, precision, and elite technical skill, Baig captured the top spot on the leaderboard in dominant fashion.
Over the course of the rigorous qualifying rounds, he carded exceptional scores of 67, 63, 65, and 66, finishing with a staggering tournament total of 27-under-par (261).
