GRACE CHAMPION AGAIN IN QATAR:BRANDEN Grace became the first back-to-back Commercial Bank Qatar Masters champion courtesy of a two-stroke win over Rafa Cabrera–Bello and Thorbjorn Olesen. Grace carded a final round 69 to post a 14–under-par total with overnight leader Paul Lawrie–a former two–time winner of the tournament – faltering with a closing 78.

FOWLER ON TOP IN ABU DHABIRICKIE Fowler clinched his second European Tour title with a one-stroke victory over Thomas Pieters at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. Fowler moved into position with a stunning third round 65 and closed out the victory with a 3-under-par final round to finish clear of the Belgian. With World Nos 1 and 3 Rory Mcllroy and Jordan Spieth also in the top ten.

DANNY Willet collected his fourth European Tour title with a narrow one stroke win over Rafa Cabrera-Bello and Andy Sullivan. Cabrera-Bello and Sullivan both made birdies on the closing hole to force Willett into needing a birdie to win outright, and the Englishman duly delivered, sinking a testing 15 footer to clinch the title.
