Li Haotong has holed a birdie putt from 15 feet at the last hole to secure a one-shot win at the Qatar Masters for his fourth title on the European tour.

The No.300-ranked Chinese golfer let out a loud roar, pumped both fists and wept in the arms of his caddie on Sunday after his winning putt at Doha Golf Club. It denied Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, of Denmark, a play-off.

Li, the overnight leader, shot a three-under 69 in the final round to finish on 16 under for the week, while Neergaard-Petersen posted 65. The Dane was alone in second place, two shots clear of England's Brandon Robinson-Thompson (70).

"I never thought I could come back in this position," said Li, whose last win was in June 2022 at the BMW International Open. "This morning, I was really stressed."

The Qatar Masters completes a run of four events in the Middle East, before the tour now heads to Kenya on February 20-23.
