Round 4 final  

Pablo Larrazábal held his nerve on the final green to deny a chasing pack including Major Champions Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship.

The Spaniard knocked in a five foot birdie putt at the last after leaving his eagle effort well short for a closing five under par 67 and 14 under total

Mickelson looked to be in command with three birdies over his first ten holes. But the Open Champion hit a three wood left under a bush on the 13th and decided to try and play back-handed rather than taking a drop.

The ball only bobbled up and caught his club on the follow through, and with a penalty drop the World Number Five was left to play his fifth shot to the green before two putting for a triple bogey seven.

McIlroy produced a closing 68 to finish tied for second with Mickelson, who recovered brilliantly to birdie three of his last five holes.

The Northern Irishman was left to rue both a string of missed birdie chances after some wonderful work from tee to green, and his two shot penalty in the third round for an incorrect drop

McIlroy thought he was alone in second place a stroke behind Lee after finishing his 3rd round, but tournament officials then ruled that he had taken a drop incorrectly on the second hole and adjusted his score to a double-bogey 7. That gave him a 70 for the round instead of 68

McIlroy had to take relief on the second hole when his ball ended up on a gallery crosswalk and went on to par the hole, but was later told by the caddy of playing partner Ricardo Gonzalez that he had his left foot on the white line marking the drop area, meaning he had not taken “full relief” according to the rules
