Omega Dubai Desert Classic
Emirates Golf Club
Round 4 final
Stephen Gallacher produced another tremendous back-nine fightback to become the first player to successfully defend the Omega Dubai Desert Classic,by one shot from Argentina's Emiliano Grillo.
Gallacher began the day with a two shot lead over playing partner Rory McIlroy, but bogeyed the first two holes and dropped further shots on the sixth and eighth to fall two off the pace.
However, the 39 year old Scot found the back nine at Emirates Golf Club very much to his liking for the second day in succession, making birdies on the 11th, 13th, 16th and 17th to finish 16 under par after a closing 72.
Rory McIlroy never reproduced the form which saw him shoot an opening 63, eventually carding a closing 74 to finish four behind Gallacher.

The Smallrus finally hoisted a big PGA TOUR trophy. Kevin Stadler, the 33-year-old son of major champion Craig "The Walrus" Stadler, won the Phoenix Open for his first PGA TOUR victory.
Stadler won when playing partner Bubba Watson missed a 5-foot par putt on 18. Stadler closed with a 3-under 68 for a one-stroke victory over Watson and Canadian Graham DeLaet. Watson shot 71, and DeLaet had a 65 65 weekend
DeLaet bogeyed the 15th after hitting into the water, but rallied with birdies on the final two holes. He also tied for second last week at Torrey Pines. "I have been playing well for the last few months," DeLaet said. "I really feel like I worked super hard in the offseason. It's nice to see it paying off."
David Hearn +2 73 leaving him at E for the tournament.
