Li Haotong Wins Qatar Masters by One Stroke

Li Haotong secured his fourth DP World Tour title at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, finishing with a final score of 16-under par after a dramatic closing birdie putt from 15 feet. Entering the final round with a two-shot lead, Li initially extended his advantage to four but faced a challenge from Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, who briefly took the lead on the back nine. Li's emotional victory comes more than two years after his last win, showcasing his resilience despite earlier bogeys during the round. Neergaard-Petersen finished just one stroke behind with a strong 65, while Brandon Robinson Thompson took third place at 13-under. Following the win, Li expressed his relief and joy, marking a significant comeback in his career. The tournament concludes a series of four events in the Middle East, with the tour now heading to Kenya later in February.
