On the final day on Sunday (today), his nearest challengers are Saim Shazli (KGC), considered a meticulous one, and Arsalan Khan (AGC) who is untiring and energetic and hence expectations are that the ultimate triumphant one will have to play persistently well on the final day. Saim and Arsalan were bracketed at a two days gross aggregate score of 148, merely one stroke behind Hamza. Also well placed were two sturdy and resilient ones of the host club at a two days gross aggregate score of 151. They were Yashal Shah, a golfer of lofty ability, and Omar Khan, a commendable performer under competitive conditions. Omar clawed his way back into contention through a spirited round yesterday. His score of gross 72 enabled him to appear among the top five position holders.
Some more contestants who are not too far behind but capable of producing shocks are Lt Cdr Saeed Khan at 152 along with Mohammed Ahmad Mannan, Saad Habib at 154, Anser Mehmood at 156, Syed Atif Shah at 157 and Omar Khalid also at 157.

Aania Farooq had to be content with the runner-up slot, her two rounds scores being 83 and 81 and a total of 164. Abiha Anam Syed attained third position.
