Purdy and Bainbridge win February Jumeirah Pairs with dominant performance at JGC
'We played incredibly well today,' said Thomas Purdy (5), reflecting on the exceptional performance he and his partner, David Bainbridge (Scr), put together to claim victory in the February edition of the Jumeirah Pairs, hosted by The Brain & Performance Centre, a DP World Company.
The duo finished with an impressive 45 Stableford points, outshining a competitive field of 108 members and their guests.
Played in a Pairs Betterball Stableford format on the Earth Course, with competitors teeing off from the Composite Tees for men and the Forward Tees for women, the tournament provided plenty of challenges.
Bainbridge's five birdies and Purdy's steady round, including birdies on holes 13 and 15, led them to victory. Their strong performance earned them the win on a back-nine countback, edging out Nick Hymas (14) and Richard Stanford (13), who also finished with 45 points.
Reflecting on their victory, Purdy said: 'David and I played incredibly well today, and we both greatly enjoyed the challenge of the Earth course. The course was in immaculate condition, and we extend our gratitude to the Agronomy Team at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
'We also appreciate the support of our sponsors, The Brain and Performance Centre, for delivering a fantastic event."
Cameron McWhinnie, Assistant Golf Services Manager at Jumeirah Golf Estates, said at the prize presentation, which was attended by 2025 Jumeirah Golf Estates Lady Captain Tanya Harrison: 'It was a hotly contested event, with the top ten pairs all within two shots of each other, which added a great competitive atmosphere to the already much-anticipated event.'
