Doha, Qatar: America’s Peter Uihlein maintained his fine run under challenging conditions at the Doha Golf Club (DGC), clinching the International Series Qatar title with an emphatic five-shot victory yesterday.
South Africa’s Ian Snyman had taken first round lead before strong winds tested the golfers with Uihlein staying firm to seal his second crown in the $2.5m tournament. He won the International Series England in August by the sizeable margin of seven shots for his maiden title on the Asian Tour and The International Series.
The American shot a final round three-under-par 69 to finish on 16-under, a result that saw him move to number one on The International Series Rankings.
South African Charl Schwartzel secured second place after a 68, while his close friend and compatriot Louis Oosthuizen tied for third two shots back with Filipino Miguel Tabuena.
Oosthuizen fired a 71 and Tabuena a 70 – in the penultimate event of the season on the Asian Tour and The International Series.
