Egypt Golf Series, results

In the event, organized in collaboration with the Egyptian Golf Federation, Michele Ortolani finished seventeenth with a score of 268 (66 69 65 68, -12). He lost some ground in the final stages and dropped from second to third place in the Order of Merit, overtaken by the tournament winner. Nevertheless, he remains firmly within the top ten of the rankings—positions that will secure an Asian Tour card at the end of the year.

Ramos carded a final round of 65 (-5: one eagle, five birdies, two bogeys) and took a bold risk to secure a closing birdie. Meanwhile, Denmark’s August Thor Horst—who finished one stroke back at 263 (-17)—shot a 63 (-7: one eagle, seven birdies, two bogeys) but fell short of forcing a playoff. Brent Ito (USA) took third place with 264 (-16), while fourth place was shared by David Boote (Wales), Natipong Srithong and Kosuke Hamamoto (Thailand), Thomas Plumb (England), and Minhyeok Yang (Korea), all finishing on 265 (-15).

The winner received a check for $21,875 from a total prize purse of $125,000.

The rules are relatively complex compared to other sports because they apply in an outdoor setting, in close proximity to nature and wildlife. Adherence to the rules is fundamental to the game; since play relies almost entirely on the players’ self-control and personal integrity, results are often skewed—sometimes deliberately, but frequently unconsciously or through carelessness—due to players failing to observe the rules. In addition to the rules, golf follows a code of conduct known as etiquette, which generally entails playing the game with due respect for the course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of the sport.
