As we draw down the curtain to this year’s installment of this tournament, we do it so with more than a sense of collective achievement. This tournament has proven once again that golf has become one of the power instruments to unite people from diverse backgrounds and from across the world. Despite the weather conditions on the first day, which interfered with the flow of the game, we are happy that the rain did not dampen your spirits. After all, in our culture we say that when sky is openthis is a sign for great things to happen. Four days before, all athletes were standing here as islanders carrying their flags. Yesterday they were standing within their sport and they were surrounded by old and new friends. They have defeated some of them and they have lost against others, but that’s what makes them all friends. That’s how sport works.
