Antoine Rozner holed an incredible 60 foot putt on the last to win his second European Tour title at the the 2021 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.
The Frenchman had carded a stunning 68 in high winds on day three and entered the final 18 holes at Education City Golf Club three shots off the lead.
In calmer conditions in round four, he hit the top of the leaderboard as he turned in 33, but Guido Migliozzi joined him at the summit as he signed for an impressive bogey free 65.
After leaving himself a long way from the pin on the last, it looked like Rozner needed two putts for a play-off but he drained an incredible double breaker over the ridge to sign for a 67 and finish at eight under.

Shane Lowry shot four birdies and two bogeys
Shane Lowry was the best of the Irish contingent at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic after a two under par round of 70.
The Offaly man s card featured four birdies, including consecutive birdies on 17 and 18, and two bogeys, and he sits six shots off the lead held by South Africa’s Richard Sterne.
Sterne is a six-time winner on the European Tour but has not tasted victory since 2013 and missed the majority of last season after wrist surgery. It s always good to get off to a good start, the 39-year-old said after a round containing nine birdies and a solitary bogey.
“Obviously my focus, it’s a little bit different than it was with family and getting married and having kids and stuff.
“But that doesn’t mean that I’m not a competitor. I still love to compete. I love to practice, try to get better and that’s what I try to do all the time.
“So it’s nice to see rounds like one today, because it shows that I’m putting some good work in there and just got to keep doing more of that.”
