It\'s a big win for the 43-year-old. Down in 272nd place in the world rankings less than a year ago, his victory takes him into the world\'s top 50 for the first time since July 2003. If he is still there at the end of next month he will earn his first start in The Masters at Augusta for eight years.

The victory also guarantees him a place in the 64-man World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play in Arizona later this month and the 24-man Volvo World Match Play in Spain in May.
If he can keep his good form going, the Ryder Cup is also a distinct possiblity.
\"I\'ve been trying to keep that to the back of my mind,\" said Lawrie.
\"If I keep playing as I am I will get in, there\'s no question, but there\'s a long way to go and I know as well as anyone that there are a lot of good players.\"

When he was reminded of how victory in Qatar last time preceded his famous Open win, Lawrie added: \"Now wouldn\'t that be nice to get that again?\"
American John Daly finished alone in fourth on nine under after a well-played 67, two behind the second-placed duo and six behind Lawrie, while France\'s Jean-Baptiste Gonnet (65), Dane Soren Hansen (66) and Argentinian Ricardo Gonzales (70) shared fifth place with Garcia. It\'s Daly\'s best display since he was second in the 2009 BMW Italian Open.

A 69 from Martin Kaymer saw him finish tied for ninth on seven under, while Lee Westwood equalled the German\'s score to finish share 12th place on six under.
