El Hali leads from first tee to the final green to capture 2026 Pan Arab Golf Championship

El Hali’s title was built on consistency as much as scoring power. He took the lead with a five-under-par 67 in the opening round and never relinquished it, remaining at the top of the leaderboard through all four rounds. He closed with a final-round 72 to finish the championship at 10 under par, six shots clear of the field.

Qatar’s Saleh Ali Al Kaabi produced a strong finish, returning a final-round 71 to secure second place at four under. The UAE’s Sam Mullane completed the podium at three under, with compatriot Jonathan Selvaraj fourth at one under. Morocco also placed Hugo Trommetter fifth at even par, while Daniil Sokolov finished sixth at four over. Khalifa Mohamed AlMerisi and Morocco’s Mohamed Baouhamou shared seventh at 11 over.

The result brought El Hali’s championship journey full circle. Golf Alarab’s opening-round report had him at the head of the field after that 67, with Morocco also leading the men’s team race. Four rounds later, the individual lead had become a title, and the opening-day promise had turned into a complete Moroccan sweep.
