Such is the transformation of the Saudi duo who have both graced the pages of Arab News since they were children. Attieh still remembers the lengthy interview he gave to Arab News when he was still a bubbly 12-year-old, and says he still has a copy of the paper, while Salhab shot his first eagle at Dirab Golf Club in Riyadh as a 13-year old, a feat that was documented by Arab News.
“It’s crazy, unbelievable. (It’s) good to see you,” Salhab, 26, excitedly said on Friday after Arab News caught up with him at the driving range of Sta. Elena Golf Club, the location for the International Series Philippines, presented by BingoPlus.
Attieh, now 31, returned a wide smile and waved his hand after he realized who called him from behind.
