Golf news: Paul Lawrie has won the Commercialbank Qatar Masters.

Published: 06 February 2012

Paul Lawrie has shot to glory in a blue golf shirt at the Commercialbank Qatar Masters presented by Dolphin Energy.

The Scot lifted the trophy after a fine performance on the last day of the competition, in which he recorded a closing 65.

Two excellent chip-ins played a role in the 43-year-old successfully holding off the challenges of Australian Jason Day and Swede Peter Hanson, who he defeated by four shots.

Lawrie stated: "I've been playing well for a long, long time, but it's just nice to come out one ahead and shoot seven under."

The win means the competitor - who became a professional player in 1986 - has moved back into the Official Golf World Ranking's top 50 for the first time since 2003, while also guaranteeing he will get to show off his golf fashion again this month with a spot in the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play in the US, as well as entry to the Volvo World Match Play in Spain later in the year.
