Col Md Humayun Rashed won the Dhaka leg of the 11th Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup at Kurmitola Golf Club on October 17, earning a place in the tournament’s Grand Finals in Türkiye.
Rashed topped the standings with 44 points, ahead of runner-up Air Vice Marshal Md Nazrul Islam and third-placed S M Abdullah Farabi. He also claimed the gross award with a round of 75.
Brigadier General Yasir Jahan won the men’s closest-to-the-pin competition, while Neela Aziz took the women’s prize.
The tournament brought together golfers, business leaders and invited guests at the Dhaka course. It was the 92nd of 139 events scheduled in this year’s global series, according to the organisers.
Launched in 2013, the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup now draws more than 10,000 players across over 130 tournaments in 84 countries.
Winners of the qualifying events will compete in the Grand Finals at Gloria Golf Club on the Turkish Golf Coast later this year, with accommodation at Gloria Serenity Resort. The finalists will travel to Türkiye in Turkish Airlines’ business class.
Turkish Airlines General Manager in Dhaka İslam Güre thanked the participants and congratulated Rashed on his victory.
“We thank all of our guests who made the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup here in Dhaka a huge success,” Güre said. “Once again, it was a thrilling tournament in the TAWGC series, congratulations to our winner, Col. Md. Humayun Rashed. We wish him the best of luck in Türkiye.”
