Golf: Gallacher wins in Dubai

February 5, 2013 02:15
In a tournament in which he could do no wrong, Stephen Gallacher of Scotland fired a timely eagle two on the par-4 16th hole and comfortably won the $2.5 million Omega Dubai Desert Classic in the end by three shots. On a difficult day at the Majlis course of Emirates Golf Club, Gallacher battled it out gamely against South Africa's Richard Sterne before the magic second shot with a sandwedge from 115 yard changed the complexion of the tournament. It was Gallacher's fifth eagle of the tournament and it helped him close the tournament with a one-under par 71 round.

Stephen Gallacher fired two eagles on the back nine in a remarkable bogey-free round of 10-under par 62 to take a three-shot lead into the final day of the $2.5 million Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Gallacher, nephew of the former European Ryder Cup captain Bernard, rattled the pin with his second shot on the par-5 13th and then holed his bunker shot on the 18th from 30 yards. That, along with six other birdies, helped him reach 21-under par 195 after three rounds.
