England’s Danny Willett is the new Dubai Desert Classic champion after winning with his last putt at the Emirates Golf Club.

Willett holed from 15 feet for a birdie on the 18th to card a closing 69 and finish 19 under par, one shot ahead of compatriot Andy Sullivan and playing partner Rafael Cabrera-Bello.

“I’m just ecstatic,” said Willett, who revealed his celebrations would be somewhat curtailed by a 3am flight home to be with his pregnant wife Nicole. “You can’t buy that feeling, coming down the back nine, the last three holes, in contention in a golf tournament. You can’t pay for that experience, you’ve got to earn it.

“You’d love to win by five or six every time, but when you win in that fashion it does feel that little bit extra special. It means when the pressure is on I can produce the goods.”
