CRI听力:Gary Stal Wins 1st Euro Title at Abu Dhabi Championship

2015-01-19来源:CRI

France's Gary Stal, rated world 357, took his first European Tour title on Sunday after overhauling misfiring leader, Martin Kaymer, and snatching the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship by one stroke.

Stal has shown good form throughout the tournament, lying in joint fifth place at the start of Sunday and going around the course in a seven-under 65 with seven birdies.

During Stal's round his consistent play gave him the lead as Germany's Kaymer bogeyed the sixth, double-bogeyed the ninth hole and triple-bogeyed the 11th.

The Frenchman seemed almost as shell-shocked by his win as Kaymer was by his failure.

"I play really good for all week and today it was really a good game. Good driving, good putting, all, all, every hole is perfect."
  
Kaymer was afterwards trying to come to terms with undoing, in three holes, everything he had achieved in the previous three days.

"Surprised, a little shocked. I don't really know how to put it into words. It was very, very surprising today. Started off well, then hit a couple of bad tee-shots, and that cost me a double-bogey and a triple-bogey. You know twice I missed the grass and was in a bush. Had to drop it in the sand and then obviously you get a bad lie. And then it is tough to make bogey. I haven't done that all week long, unfortunately I did today and therefore it cost me the tournament."

Coming to Abu Dhabi, world number one Rory McIlroy scored a six-under 66 to beat Kaymer by one stroke, but fetch up in second place once again, his fourth in five appearances.
