Paul Lawrie wins Qatar Masters

Paul Lawrie wins the Qatar Masters ahead of Australian Jason Day.

Paul Lawrie shot a bogey-free round of 65 to win the Qatar Masters in Doha this afternoon.

The Scot's seven-under-par round allowed him to hold off a challenge from Australia's Jason Day, who also shot 65.

Day was forced to share second place alongside Sweden's Peter Hanson, while American John Daly was also round in five-under to finish fourth on his own.

"I don't think I can play much better than that," Lawrie told Sky Sports News. "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."

The victory has guaranteed Lawrie a place in the 64-man Accenture World Match Play in Arizona later this month and the 24-man Volvo World Match Play in Spain in May.
