KURDI WINS IN VENICE

 Young golf sensation Shergo Kurdi has won a big tournament in Venice, Italy, before returning straight home to win an event in his own backyard.

The youngster’s incredible weekend started with back to back rounds of 65 and 70 to win the Venice Open, which is part of the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation, by seven shots with a combined score of nine under.

He beat golfers from 30 countries and then returned to his England base to win the Surrey U13 County Championship with a 75 for a winning margin of four shots.

He is now preparing to participate in the Asian Championships in South Korea in October, and the Arab Youth Championship in Egypt in the same month.

He will be back in Jordan in November for the Jordan Open Championship on the new Ayla course in Aqaba in November.
