Paris Soir - Reed continues Gulf romp with victory in Qatar

The American, who won the European Tour event in Dubai two weeks ago and was tied for second after a three-way playoff in Bahrain last week, led from the first round in Doha.

"This little run I've had, two wins and a second, it's awesome," said Reed.

"It's special, to come out here especially to get two wins early on in the season."

Reed started the final round two shots ahead of Jacob Skov Olesen and the two were paired.

After the Dane birdied the first hole and Reed bogeyed the second the pair were tied at the top.

Finn Oliver Lindell caught and passed them after making six birdies and two bogeys in the first eight holes.

Lindell bogeyed 12 and 13 as Reed picked up shots on 10 and 11 to move two ahead again.

"It wasn't looking very good there on the front nine," said Reed. "To lose the lead like that and then to be able to kind of flip the switch there on the back nine obviously felt amazing.

Calum Hill, who finished in a tie for second with Reed a week earlier, claimed second again. He eagled the tenth and then made four straight birdies from 14 to shoot a 67 while Olesen was one under on the back nine.

"Golf feels good at the minute," said Hill. "I feel like I did a lot of things well and if you put me in that position again I feel like I could convert from there.

Olesen and American Johannes Veerman shared third.

Padraig Harrington, a 54-year-old tripe major winner, played his 500th DP World Tour event and was under par in every round to finish five under in a tie for 34th.
