Alejandro del Rey started the day with a two-shot lead at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship and signed for a bogey-free 66 to win his maiden DP World Tour title by four shots at 22-under.
“It’s amazing because it’s basically what I work for,” said the Spaniard. “I got to a point last year where I just felt like I wasn’t having that much fun on the golf course because for me, playing for 20th, 30th place wasn’t that meaningful at that point.
“I just worked really hard since then because I just didn’t want to be in that position much longer. And I feel like I’ve played many years with a lot of friends that have won out here and I knew I could do it but it just wasn’t showing up.
“I’m just grateful and I’m very happy that this finally came. I’ve always felt about myself that I’m a great closer of golf tournaments. It just felt great today, felt very natural and very easy.”
England’s Marcus Armitage also stayed bogey-free but made just four birdies for a 68 to finish runner-up at 18-under.
Spain’s David Puig carded a 65 to finish third at 15-under followed at 14-under by Australian Jason Scrivener whose otherwise bogey-free round was marred by a double bogey at the par-4 17th for a 67.
