Pakistan’s golf sensation Omar Khalid Hussain made history on Sunday by becoming the first Pakistani to win a professional golf tournament in the United States.
He secured the prestigious Fendrich Open title after a brilliant performance that highlighted his talent and composure under pressure.
Omar Khalid Hussain competed in the US$18,700 event at the par-70 Fendrich Golf Course. He produced exceptional rounds of 61 and 65, finishing with a 36-hole aggregate of 14-under 126. His performance helped him edge past Illinois professional Zach Williams by just one stroke, sealing a memorable victory.
The young golfer’s two rounds featured 14 birdies and an eagle, showcasing his precision and confidence on the course. His success at such a competitive stage reflects both his potential and determination to place Pakistan on the global golf map.
Currently, Omar Khalid Hussain is the only Pakistani competing in NCAA Division 1 golf, where he continues to sharpen his skills against some of the best collegiate players in the world. His historic triumph adds another milestone to his growing list of achievements.
Omar had already captured attention back in 2021 when he became the youngest winner of the National Amateur Golf Championship at just 16 years old. That victory marked the beginning of his rise, but the Fendrich Open title confirms his place as a player to watch on the international golf circuit.
With this win, Omar Khalid Hussain not only elevates his own career but also inspires a new generation of golfers in Pakistan, proving that the country can compete at the highest levels of the sport.
