Abraham Ancer held off the challenge of Cameron Young to win the PIF Saudi International
Abraham Ancer held off the challenge of Cameron Young to win the PIF Saudi International Tour Asia by two strokes and claim a wire-to-wire victory.
Ancer was two shots behind Young after the third round but the pair were all square on 19 in seven holes heading into the fourth round when Young carded his fourth birdie of the day.
However, Young then bogeyed the eighth and more blemishes on the 13th and 15th – the American recorded a double-bogey on the last hole – obviously his gains on the 16th and 18th came in vain.
Ancer’s bogey came on the ninth and he birdied the final nine to claim his fifth career victory and first on the Asian Tour.
The Mexican player’s two-under 68 left him at 19 under for the tournament, with Young, who matched Ancer’s final round, finishing at 17 under.
Australia’s Lucas Herbert finished third for the second consecutive week after finishing behind Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed at the Dubai Desert Classic on the DP World Tour last Monday.
England’s Paul Casey claimed fifth place at 13 under with a five over 68 on the final day.
The only time the 45-year-old was on par was when he bogeyed the par-five 11th with seven birdies and 10 pars.
