  • Runner-up Rafael Cabrera-Bello was delighted with his showing at the Dubai Desert Classic after finishing one shot behind playing partner Danny Willett at the Emirates Golf Club.

    Willett holed from 15 feet for a birdie on the 18th to card a closing 69 and finish 19 under par, one shot ahead of compatriot Andy Sullivan and playing partner Rafael Cabrera-Bello.

    Sullivan had also birdied the last in the group ahead to temporarily join Willett at the top of the leaderboard, before Cabrera-Bello narrowly missed a long eagle attempt on 18 and tapped in for birdie to also finish 18 under.

    “I’m very happy, I had a fantastic tournament and I’m proud of myself,” the 2012 champion told the media.
