Paul Waring signed for a bogey-free 66 to reach 24-under and win the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship by two shots, his first win since the 2018 Nordea Masters.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just means so much to so many other things that come with that win,\u201d said the Englishman.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo actually keep control of myself in the way that I did today I’m really proud of myself, and Alex [Evans, his caddie] was absolutely amazing. Playing partner was amazing, Shane was great as was Niklas [Norgaard]. I’m a bit taken aback right now.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m not that emotional on golf courses. I tend not to fist-pump and I tend not to get up and down, and I tend to stay quite steady. It was actually the putt on 15, the par save. It was only five feet but it was such a solid putt. It just gave me so much confidence coming in that if I just keep hitting putts like that I’ll be fine.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe one on 17, I could just see it tracking in the whole way, and just knew I was going to hole it. As soon as it left the blade, I knew it was in. So yeah, it was a big moment. Big, big moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought the second shot into 18 was absolutely perfect. To see it go long was, ‘right, I’ve still got business, still got stuff to do’.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo got my head back on. I’ll be honest, legs were shaking a little bit over that last putt. I just wanted to make sure that nothing else could happen and great to roll that one in on the last as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t want to sound over the top or anything but I felt like my golf game has been in such a good place over the last year. Just haven’t put it all together. And then this week arrives and you know what, a week for it all to come together, putting nicely, approach play was great, great off the tee. It’s nice to put it all together and get a tournament like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
