WORLD CUP 2022
Final Round – ‘Singles’: Cengkareng Golf Club, Friday 25th November
Team ROW Captain wisely kept with his spine of strong players who have been so consistent and dependable throughout the year: David Moore, Fernando, Greg White and welcomed back Teaching Pro Jamie Whenman who would battle Team Asia’s lowest handicap player Gaurav Shirke. The match turned out to be a very close encounter as they matched each other blow for blow right the way to the 18th hole finishing AS, a real Dog Fight!
In the end the win was secured comfortably with the ROW spine and 2022 MVP’s: Willi G, Fernando, Greg White and David Moore all winning their singles matches along with Roger Finnie who impressively beat TEESET 2022 Matchplay Champion Hitoshi Matsuyama, well played Roger. The draw from Jamie and Jens bringing home the 12 points, on the day; 5 wins and 2 draws.
Hats off to the 2022 MVP’S from TEAM ROW: Willi G, Fernando Gaggino, David Moore and Greg White all of whom won all three of their matches in fourball, foursomes and singles bringing home maximum points for TEAM ROW in this years event.
Congratulations to Team Captain Willi Goldschimdt and TEAM ROW the ETIHAD JAWS WORLD CUP 2022 Winners!
In the end was great to see ROW and ASIA players staying for drinks and having fun! No blood was shed and any scares quickly healed, golf, friendship and sportsmanship clearly the winners!
WORLD CUP 2021
11 Months after the opening World Cup encounter at Sentul Highlands for the opening Singles Round, the 2021 Singgasana World Cup was concluded at Cengkareng Golf Club on Friday 28th January with 20 players from Team Asia up against 20 Rest of the World players in singles match-play.
Incredibly after the opening three rounds of Singles, Foursomes and Four-ball, the scores were locked at 40 points a piece with a total of 40 points up for grab over 20 singles games in the Final Round, with the first team over 61 points declared the winners. Here is a recap of the first three rounds as a refresher:
The original date for the Fourth Round and singles was back in November but due to the second wave and Delta Variant of Covid and numerous lockdowns, restricting Golf Courses to host large groups of players, both Teams agreed on a date late January, after the Asian Team Captain had returned from a home visit abroad and completed his quarantine.
The Final round also saw another change with a location move to: Cengkareng Golf Club a very popular Golf Course amongst Jakarta’s golfers providing an ideal layout and great course conditions for the final round battle.
A big shout out to both teams Captains and VC’s for gathering their troops in time for the match. Never easy with people commitments on and off the course these days and the looming pandemic.
A big shout out to our events main sponsor Singgasana Hotel’s & Resorts whose Jakarta, central property the Sultan has been used by many JAWS players during re-entry and quarantine stays after returning form abroad, keep It up!
As predicted the Final Round and singles games produced another tight encounter with TEAM ASIA getting over the line for 62 points to win, with 22 points over ROW’s 18 points, nonetheless it went down to the wire. With Asia winning 9/20 matches and drawing 4 matches to ROW’s 7 wins from 20.
In the end Team Asia were crowned the winners on cue with a beautiful sunset that was enjoyed by Team Asia on the Top Deck overlooking the 18th Green. Bragging rights obtained for 2021 bring on the this years edition!
Congratulations to the Winners!!!!:
- TEAM ASIA with a TOTAL SCORE OF 62 pts – 58 pts over TEAM REST OF THE WORLD
Under the Guidance and Captain of Gaurav Shirke and VC Pras Sutowo. Well played Gents! Unlucky ROW Captain Willie Goldschimdt and VC Chris Lever its fair to say you are disadvantaged in some respects as TEAM ASIA are playing on home soil.
Stay tuned and get ready for selection by your chosen captains in 2024. Can Team Asia retain the Cup that TEAM ROW will be so eager to win back!
Happy Golfing Sharks!
