In 1999 and 2000 it was held at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, all other editions have been held at Emirates Golf Club. When founded in 1989, it was the first European Tour event to be staged in the Arabian Peninsula, but is currently one of six. Australia’s Lucas Herbert recovered to beat South Africa’s Christiaan Bezuidenhout in a play-off and claim his first European Tour title at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Herbert birdied the second extra hole at Emirates Golf Club to edge out Bezuidenhout after the pair had finished tied on nine under par following matching final rounds of 68. Bezuidenhout had looked set for victory on the first play-off hole when Herbert went for the green in two but carved his approach wildly into the water, a shot he described to his caddie as “maybe the worst shot I’ve ever hit in my life”. However, Herbert managed to regain his composure and, after a penalty drop, hit a superb pitch to within two feet of the hole to save par before Bezuidenhout was unable to convert a long birdie putt. A birdie on the second extra hole secured victory for the Australian. 673823
