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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n
