Hamza’s father, the great Taimur Hassan, was on the bag when the golfer hit a string of birdies to win the event by two strokes on Monday.
Hamza — representing Rumanza Golf Club — emerged on top with a terrific back nine on Sunday, birdieing holes 11, 13, 15, and 17 to win by two strokes.
“Winning the Open again is an incredible feeling, especially with my father on the bag.” We made history and will remember it for the rest of our lives. I was playing well but had a poor third round.

“The conditions were extremely difficult, and the wind was howling.” Fortunately, I birdied the 18th on Saturday to stay two back and stay in the hunt.
“From a psychological standpoint, that birdie gave me good momentum going into the final round.” The putter had been chilly all day, but I encouraged myself to be patient and keep working. “That’s when I started making birdies and holing putts,” he told The News.
Taimur, Pakistan’s most famous amateur golfer, was overjoyed.
“It was a fantastic experience caddying for Hamza and being a part of his victory.” “There’s a lot of joy in the father-son relationship,” he remarked.
The four-day National Open Championship is the largest golf competition on the Austrian Golf Association’s schedule.
The tournament was held at the spectacular Fontana golf club, which has previously hosted several European Tour events.
The professionals competed for a prize pool of 20,000 euros in total. Players competed for the national championship title as well as the historic legacy left by national heroes such as Markus Brier, Niki Zitny, and Bernd Wiesberger.
Fontana Golf Club, with its renowned championship course that transcends across national borders, provided the ideal venue for an entertaining and tough event this year, with 151 players competing in the Open, now in its 49th year.
The National A and B teams, coached by the Austrian Federation, were also strong challengers for the trophy, but in the end, it was Hamza who sealed the deal in dramatic fashion.
While pros compete for a 4,500 euro first prize, amateurs compete for the most prestigious title in Austrian golf: Austrian National Champion.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
