Lawrie Wins at Qatar Masters
DOHA, QATAR - Paul Lawrie came home strong on Sunday to win the Commercialbank Qatar Masters in comfortable fashion from Jason Day & Sergio Garcia.
Lawrie, the second-round leader, fired a seven-under 65 on Sunday. The Scotsman was tied for the lead after eight holes, but played the last 10 in six-under par to earn a four-shot win. “I don’t think I can play much better than that,” said Lawrie, who finished at 15-under 201. “I’ve been playing well for a long, long time, but it’s just nice to come out one ahead and shoot seven-under.”
