Seven PGABS idols who made a dramatic came back. It was raining outside

L-R: Lokman, BJ (Team Captain), Zaidi, Yusri, Ahoi, Omar and Saadi

KGS (Sun @ 6 Apr): Ahoi watched his 20-foot putt race up the slope and bend toward the cup, then he skipped backward and punch the air in celebration when it disappeared into the cup for the much-needed winning points for PGABS. "You're Tiger Wood!!" Compatriot Omar screaming.

Today Ahoi-Omar made a dramatic return by winning all the last 4 holes to win 2-0 against Albert Tanon and Hygenius Kevin of Alpha Mount. The bufallo-like PGABS players were 2 down with 4 more holes to go when the heavy rain came crashing.

Earlier, second single Lokman was down 4-3 to Magit and Foursome BJ-Saadi partnering ended their encounter at hole 16 after dormie three making an overall deficit of 0-2.

First single Yusri started one up against Herman Bulang and won the match 3-2 whilst second 4-ball Zaidi Aliman won 2-1. Both group ended their matches at hole 17. Zaidi was playing singly as Hj Sabry withdrew at the eleventh hour.

The result was levelled 2-2 when Ahoi and Omar stepped into tee-box 18 to decide the fate of PGABS. When Ahoi deposited 20-footer birdie the games was all over not only for Albert Tanon and Hyginus Kevin but also for Alpha Mount. As captain BJ said about the birdie put " It was a "hair standing" moment for me especially when 30-odd supporters were pin-dropped silent"

Next week-end PGABS will play against Blessed Builders Team. .

MAN OF THE MATCH

But the real hero was second 4-Ball Zaidi Aliman. He has to take the task singly since yesterday as compatriot Mohd Sabry was pulling-out just before first tee-off. At one time he was 2 up on the first nine. When the siren was sounded - due to lightning and heavy rain- they were 4 holes to go and the match was levelled. He scrambled to finished the game 3-2 to the chagrin of Fabian Marip and Dominic Sirip of Alpha Mount.

Interview after the game.

How did you do it?
Zaidi: I am a retired policeman. It requires mental strength to win against 2 strong golfer like today.

What was your strategy?
Zaidi: I was playing singly and I am not single handicapper.... enjoy the game... drive into the centre... go as near as possible to the green and chip as near as possible to the hole... and avoid missing your put.
