Paul Lawrie has won the Qatar Masters for a second time.
He shot a flawless final round of 65 to finish on 15 under par.
The Scot last took the title in 1999 - the year he became Open champion.
The 43-year-old ended the event ahead of Australian Jason Day and Swede Peter Hanson who were joint second and American John Daly in fourth.
The tournament was cut to 54 holes because of strong winds on Friday.
The win takes Lawrie into the world's top 50 for the first time since 2003, having been in 272nd place less than a year ago.
It is his first success since his long-time coach Adam Hunter died of leukaemia in October and Lawrie was close to tears when reminded of that afterwards.
"I don't think I can play much better than that.
"I've been playing well for a long, long time, but it's just nice to come out one ahead and shoot seven under.
"When you've got a chance to win a tournament you don't sleep as well the night before and things go racing through your mind.
"You've got to get back to basics and I did that. I hit some nice shots coming in."
