Twenty-six year-old Spaniard Alvaro Quiros won his third European tour title by lifting the trophy at the Commercialbank Qatar Masters, January 25 at the Doha Golf Club.
Quiros carded a three-under-par 69 in the final round for a tournament total of 19-under-par 269 to deny Stenson a second victory in Qatar and become the first Spaniard to win in 12 editions of the prestigious tournament. He received a cheque of US$ 416,660 and a Mother of Pearl trophy.
Part of Quiros' bio in Wikipedia:
Quirós was born in La Línea de la Concepción, Province of Cádiz. He played on the Challenge Tour in 2006, winning one tournament, and earned his European Tour card for the 2007 season by finishing in the top 35 at the qualifying school. He won the first European Tour tournament he entered as a European Tour card-holder; the Alfred Dunhill Championship which is played in South Africa. His second European Tour win came at the 2008 Portugal Masters, where he finished with birdies at both 17 and 18 on Sunday, to win by three strokes over Paul Lawrie.
