Paul Waring clinched a remarkable victory at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, fending off formidable competitors to achieve his biggest win to date. The 39-year-old from Wirral showcased an impressive performance, finishing the final round with a score of 66, highlighted by a birdie-birdie finish. Waring initially took command of the tournament with a record-setting 61 at Yas Links on Friday. However, his five-shot lead at the halfway mark was narrowed to just one after he carded a 73 on Saturday. Despite expressing some nerves during his third round, Waring demonstrated exceptional composure in the final round, finishing with a flawless score and ending the tournament at 24 under par. Tyrrell Hatton finished in second place, while Rory McIlroy tied for third, but it was Waring who emerged victorious in this high-stakes competition.
