In a thrilling final day at Yas Links, it was Paul Waring who overcame a number of huge names to not only pick up his second DP World Tour title, but the biggest win of his career!
Holding off the likes of Tyrrell Hatton, Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, Waring showed serious composure over the final stretch, as two birdies on the 17th and 18th gave him a two stroke win over Hatton, who set the clubhouse target at 22-under-par.
Along with the first prize, $1,530,000 to be exact, Waring earned a plethora of World Ranking points and Race to Dubai ranking points, as the 39-year-old moved into fifth position in the Race to Dubai standings.
Along with Waring, Hatton continued his excellent form, as the LIV Golfer carded an eight-under-par 64 to sit in solo second, earning a near million dollars for his efforts.
Importantly, for Hatton, his performance earned him a number of points in the Race to Dubai rankings, as well as a number of Ryder Cup points, something that the Englishman has his eye on next year.
Rounding out the leaderboard, McIlroy, Thorbjorn Olesen and Matt Wallace once again produced fine performances, finishing 21-under and in a share of third. Rounding out the top 10, the likes of Fleetwood, Shane Lowry and Thomas Detry were present, with a star-studded leaderboard setting up a thrilling prospect at the DP World Tour Championships next week.
