In one of the twilight weeks of the season, with hardly any golfers ranked among those occupying the top positions in the world rankings in any of the circuits, the Doha Golf Club hosted the Qatar International Series, scoring for the Asian Tour, which They ended with the victory of the American Peter Uihlein, leading a long list of LIV Golf players who are taking advantage of this week to add world ranking points.
The American, winner by five strokes ahead of Charl Schwartzel, also a player in the League promoted by Saudi Arabia, had a triumphant ride on Saturday, barely disturbed, not at all tense, when after three holes he made a bogey on the first par 3 ( hole 3) and saw the difference reduced to two strokes. However, he recovered with two consecutive birdies on 8 and 9 that already made him unreachable.
“I’ve played very well the last two days. I think I haven’t hit five greens, which on windy days is a great balance,” said Uihlein, who wins his second tournament in this type of International Series format, adding to the one he had won in August in England, at the end of the Olympic Games, with another resounding victory (7 strokes ahead).
Among the Spaniards, Eugenio López Chacarra, in fifth position, was the best. After having announced his departure from the Fireballs and with a future that seems further from the LIV than belonging to that league, the Madrid native scored 71 strokes in the fourth round with three birdies and two bogeys, despite only taking advantage of one of the pars 5 of the Qatari tour. With eight under par he equaled, among others, Lahiri and Burmester. Luis Masaveu, meanwhile, finished ninth, after a final 69.
