ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Paul Waring cards a 6-under 66 to win the Abu Dhabi Championship for the biggest victory of his career. The 229th-ranked Englishman was one stroke ahead overnight and finished on 24 under. He even surprised himself at how smoothly the final round went, saying "it was quite an easy day really, wasn't it?" That put him two shots clear of countryman Tyrrell Hatton (64) and three clear of Danish golfer Thorbjorn Olesen (66), Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy (64) and Englishman Matt Wallace (63) in a tie for third. Waring's 19-under score after two rounds was the lowest 36-hole score to par in European tour history.
