WARING PULLS OUT ALL STOPS

PAUL WARING produced a stunning finish to hold off a stellar chasing pack and win the Abu Dhabi Championship.

The 39-year-old from the Wirral had taken control with a course-record 61 at Yas Links on Friday, but saw his five-shot halfway lead reduced to one, with a 73 on Saturday.

But he displayed nerves of steel in a flawless closing 66 to secure victory with a 24-under-par total.

Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Fleetwood, Tommy Tyrrell Hatton and Thorbjorn Olesen were among those to turn up the heat on Waring during a thrilling final round.
