Quiros wins Masters
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 26 - 01 - 2009

Spain's Alvaro Quiros won the Qatar Masters with a three-shot win over Swede Henrik Stenson and South African Louis Oosthuizen at the Doha Golf Club on Sunday.
Quiros, who led by one shot overnight, clinched his third victory on the European Tour after Stenson and Louis Oosthuizen faded away on the back nine.
Quiros, the first Spaniard to win in Qatar in the 12 editions of the tournament that began in 1998, shot a three under par 69 on Sunday for an aggregate of 19 under par-269 for the tournament.
Stenson and Oosthuizen finished tied second with 16 under while Ireland's Damien McGrane was third on 275 with Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez and Dutchman Maarten Lafeber one shot behind on 276.
Stricker breaks record
to lead at Bob Hope
In California, American Steve Stricker birdied six of the last seven holes on his way to a sizzling bogey-free 10-under 62, giving him a three-shot lead after four rounds of the Bob Hope Classic Saturday.
Stricker, who shot a third-round 61 Friday, had a quiet start by opening with four pars at the Nicklaus Private course, one of four low-scoring venues hosting this week's 90-hole pro-am.
The 41-year-old then caught fire and picked up shots on 10 of his next 14 holes, including four straight to end his round and rocket to the top of the leaderboard three strokes clear of compatriot Pat Perez.
Stricker's 33-under 255 sets a PGA Tour record for the lowest 72-hole total bettering the 31-under 261 carded by South Africa's Ernie Els at the 2003 Mercedes-Benz championship. Third round leader, Perez, turned in a solid bogey-free five-under 67 but his 258 total was not enough to keep top spot on the leaderboard.
Bubba Watson jumped into contention with a bogey free nine-under 63 to sit seven off the lead alongside American compatriots Robert Garrigus (six-under 66) and Taylor Vaughn (four-under 68) at 26
