The DP World Tour concludes a five-event stretch in the Middle East this week as Doha Golf Club hosts the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters. Rasmus Højgaard will be teeing it up in Qatar this week. The Dane has had a strong start to 2024 with four finishes inside the top-12 across the four tournaments he’s played. Notably finishing runner-up at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship two weeks ago and claiming 8T last week at the Bahrain Championship. The in-form South African Zander Lombard is also in the field this week. He has also started the new year well with a 6T finish at the Dubai Invitational in January and 2T finish last week at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship. Rikuya Hoshino will also fancy his chances. He ended 2023 with back-to-back runner-up finishes at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open and the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship. He also played well to claim a 12T finish last week at the Bahrain Championship. Others to look out for are Jorge Campillo, Yannik Paul and Pablo Larrazábal.

[Applause] Breeze just kicking up back into their faces here little soft dog leg from left to right as he launches it few claps will tell you he’s absolutely smoked it right to the brink of the hit again Tony like you noticed is aiming right trying to just chop this

In the first time I’ve seen him in in Wind he looks quite comfy don’t you oh I think so he looked yesterday that was beautiful well continuation of yesterday he was so good with the patter 30 ft short left of his flag all day long you would

Take about there there he you Tony Happy Days lovely shot yeah we saw this yesterday but a ready gol if the other guys weren’t ready to pull a trigger he would he would play if he was ready to go and that’s fair enough it’s allowed these days there was

A lot of three Woods yesterday and they were struggling with this hole down Breeze and these conditions the ball’s going to go 20 shorter than yesterday with this heavy rain so I like driver it’s the perfect setup if you are in the rough you your 40

Yards not a bad light just mle down a little bit you can use all the green like I said what the moisture come out of that bit of rough it’s the first time we’ve seen that this week and he’s just worried about it bounding through further than you would like like

An extra 6 seven fet if you’re not careful up the hill we’ll break off his left I mean how are you supposed to judge the pace of that part wa you you very rarely playing these conditions C’s putt keep the pace up it will break can’t do much more than that well I

Didn’t understand that Wy he walked in quickly to see hoard’s put down a very similar line and then he started straddling the line to see what the slope was you’ve been shown exactly what it’s going to do hits it with a distinct shape which I think is quite handy under pressure you

Know it’s going to come back from right to left beautiful I love watching golf in these conditions that you know you can display your your full skill set beautiful you just don’t get a more simple pting stroke than that it is so uncomplicated must find fair with this

One down the left and the breeze just kicking up as you said get there to the te in time Johnny mentioned it bit of Blue Sky out there might see a few more birdies coming home I think the conditions are looks like he’s just aing inside

That right hand bunker Johnny or is he oh well yeah it is shap he asking for a bit more of it looked like he tried to give it the save on the follow through but he’s done exceptionally well that is a beautiful golf shot how good was that he knows

What he’s doing isn’t he sure does slightly different to some but yeah deserves to knock this one in after that second there Wy straight down the hill hint off his right defly fast well somehow you knew it Sho back into the lead two buies in the last two

HS trying to become the fourth Japanese winner in DP world tour history aims this one a little bit left and accept like he’s going to have a 20 25 footer yeah that’s a good point I think that is that is the play isn’t it and if

You manage to cut across it and hold it up then all all well and good but there’s a first mistake yeah yeah the plan was to go left wasn’t it you know the idea the course management was good but the execution wasn’t yeah he feels pretty accomplished to me

Around the greens but again that’s not his best Tony said it earlier he’s brushing them in better than anyone just over rdit on that pace so he’ll drop back well yeah it just looked like he dragged it a little bit especially when he’s going into that one with a wedge in his

Hand well right ‘s the breeze sling it in there don’t overcook this one though yeah that’ be all I’d say just doesn’t want to get this starting too straight through the middle of the green a temptation to blast it right what a great shot unlucky actually not to get a

Kick forward he seems very comfortable in the right to left Breeze considering he’s a hooker straight away here just as rasma got over his butt so yeah hasn’t got the best of reads off of Rasmus deara boys has it put a dent in his no well done

Bino someone say it’s to sit back in a save but he doesn’t see it like that cuz he seems to know where it’s going most of the time working its way off the left as well up and out of that Caddy’s pointing right how far right oh right bunker

Right oh yeah only two birdies here today to get good access to this right pin I doubt it got a bell left he’s gone for it he has gone for it yeah wow any idea where it came down Johnny I think that’s in that front bunker

Yeah it’s s a 20 yard bunker shot he’s play that that’s a stroke of a genius there bunker shots I think they the hardest under pressure of any part of the game beautiful beautiful I don’t think any of us had any doubts about that one very

Good up and down good fall from the Fairway bunker i s I think there was something in there but it yeah well as golfers we have great memories all right foot in that but well another great shot isn’t it really is I mean look at that that

Was a beauty when it was yeah that was a cracker similar conditions yesterday wearing in Ferguson From the Rough had to lay up short of the pond he got he took advantage with the LIE there good chance just to separate himself from other two tied with them no little too high perfect Pace

Again certainly was for the first time today ugoo will have a great opportunity to take the lead oh we’ve had three eagles here today already he flush that isn’t he oh got the bounce as well unlucky but don’t know I’d rather be front edged than 35

Past the flag I think and a slow part for a youin know and just crap out of the rough one extra hop that would have been mint right in the middle of the dce for this one breaking off his left now just what the doctor ordered yes a

Two would have been nice but he’s taken most of the pain out of the B so sound isn’t it no Breeze in now don’t think you can get gap wedge there he’s made two here every single day he’s not got the memo is he have to say it’s been quite a

Performance to this point but it certainly make the t- shot of the last feel a little bit easier if he can judge the left or right slope in this he can you know boom how about that now the rest of the guy now all of a sudden cuso needs an eagle that’s how

You do it that’s taking care of business and he knows it look at that little L par five finish no he’s not messing around is he loves it aing up the right half just soft draw back into the middle I just when he stepped on the T the oy I

Didn’t think there was even a 5% chance of him making more than five the way he’s played and got the ball straight in kuso’s court getting on with it again quite happy playing to his strengths not miss the middle of the Fairway all day really feels that

Was little bit closer than he was hoping for I think oh dear oh the game game is not [Applause] over what a stroke what a way to win a par on the last and hasino with a world class performance is the 2024 Qatar Masters champion every credit to Yugo kuso who

Forced the issue right there on the on the end at the final he joins Legends hii matsi yamaai aoke his fellow countrymen who SATs in it oh he’s all smiles now but for a moment [Applause] there I’m so honored to win at this uh wonderful tournament and I was very uh

Regret that I was just run up at the first two Australian tournament so I’m so happy to be finally win you looked very calm out there but were you nervous at all uh um of course I was nervous but I just tried to keep enjoying the mat and at at

The end uh I was bit uh fascinated but I’m so happy you hit a lot of good shots out there but was there one most important shot out there the shot but uh especially the final round uh the T t-shot the fin and uh the
