Eddie Pepperell held off the challenge of Oliver Fisher to win his first European Tour title at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.
The Englishman entered the final day at Doha Golf Club level with his compatriot at the top of the leaderboard and, while he opened up a three-shot lead at the turn, an impressive fightback by Fisher meant the pair were separated by a single stroke as they went up the par-five last.
It was advantage to Fisher after two shots with Pepperell in the rough and both men laid up, but the 27-year-old hit an excellent third to set up a par which his playing partner could only match.
Pepperell’s closing round of 70 got him to 18 under, with Fisher signing for a 71 and Swede Marcus Kinhult finishing at 16 under after a 68.
Spanish duo Gonzalo Fernandez-Castaño and Pablo Larrazábal, Frenchman Grégory Havret and Italian Renato Paratore were then at 15 under.
George Coetzee secured a top-10 finish with a bogey-free 68 which saw him finish T8.
