The first Tommy Fleetwood Academy Junior Medal Series was held at Jumeirah Golf Estates on Saturday, October 7. The event was played in front of the fire course, with 36 juniors participating.

The 36 juniors were divided into four separate divisions named 'Forward Tees,' 'Gross Competition,' 'Girls Competition,' and 'TFA Tees.' TFA Tees are marked for the younger juniors without a handicap.

Kiaan Maharaj finished first in the TFA Tees division with a level score of net 36, one ahead of runner-up Dalia Sebti with 35 (-1).

Aleksander Rozhko won the 'Forward Tees' Division with a score of seven under, net 29, a three-shot win over Alexsander Sales, who finished four under with a net 32.

The 'Girls Competition' was won by Camelia Sebti with a two-under, net of 34, two strokes better than Milana Rozhko, who scored level par with a net of 36. The 'Gross Competition' ended in a tie, but Jameel Choudry won in a countback with a gross score of 35 over Tommy Carr Jr., who scored the same.

Additionally, two on-course prizes were given. Alexander Sales won 'Nearest to the Pin on Hole 2', while Dalia Sebti prevailed in the raffle for Beat the Pro. However, no one was able to beat Euan Bowden, the Tommy Fleetwood Academy professional.
