At the tender age of five, Emile Gonzalvez demonstrated exceptional golfing prowess, clinching the November edition of the OMA Emirates Monthly Medal, in collaboration with Unique Holding, with a stellar net score of 69. Gonzalvez (5) began his round with a bogey on the first hole but swiftly regained his form, posting a bogey-par-birdie sequence from holes 7 to 9, turning in 37. Despite three bogeys on holes 10, 12, and 13, leaving him at four over par as he approached the 14th tee, he rallied with three pars and birdies on both the 17th and 18th holes, concluding with a total score of 74 on the 6,978-yard, par 72 course.
The lowest gross score of 74 was jointly achieved by Iain Selkirk, Kevin Moore, and Gonzalvez. Ian Taverner (15) secured the Division 2 prize with a net score of 71. Unique Holding, the event's supporting sponsor, entered into a partnership with Dubai Golf in June 2024. This 18-month agreement encompasses five Dubai Golf & VIYA Golf UAE clubs: Emirates Golf Club, Dubai Creek Golf Resort, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Yas Links Abu Dhabi, and Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. Unique Holding's contribution to these events includes the enhancement of prizes for the winners.
