Greetings from Dave
Young Frenchman Gary Stal overturned an eight shot deficit to deny Martin Kaymer and claim a maiden European Tour title at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship.
The two-time Challenge Tour winner closed with a brilliant seven under par 65 for a 19 under total. Three-time winner Kaymer had carried a six shot lead going into Sunday's final round, and at one stage managed to extend his lead to ten shots after making three birdies in first four holes. Kaymer’s double bogey on the front nine and then a triple bogey on the back nine ruined his chances of winning.
It was another solid week for world number 1 Rory McIlroy after finishing 2nd in Dubai. The main highlight for Rory though was having his first professional hole in 1 which he made in his second round.
