Australian Jason Day came home with a rush but Paul Lawrie produced a bogey-free final round to cruise to a four-shot win at the Qatar Masters in Doha on Sunday.
The Scotsman - who won the same event in 1999, the same year he clinched the British Open - led by one shot heading into the final day of the event, which had been reduced to 54 holes due to strong winds.
And the 43-year-old never looked like relinquishing that advantage as he carded a blemish-free seven-under 65 to finish at 15-under overall.
Day fired a 65 to finish in a tie for second with Sweden's Peter Hanson at 11-under.
The day belonged to Lawrie though, who entered the tournament in good form after top-10 finishes at the recent Abu Dhabi Championship and Volvo Golf Champions events.
He started with a birdie on the first hole of the day before seven successive pars were followed by an eagle on the par-five ninth hole.
That gave Lawrie the lift he needed to storm home with four back-nine birdies sealing his first title win since March 2011.
The victory also pushed him back into the world's top 50 for the first time since 2003.
"I don't think I can play much better than that," he said.
"I've been playing well for a long, long time, but it's just nice to come out one ahead and shoot seven-under."
He added: "When you've got a chance to win a tournament you don't sleep as well the night before and things go racing through your mind."
"You've got to get back to basics and I did that. I hit some nice shots coming in."
Day, 24, showed why he is one of rising stars of world golf with his round, which included four consecutive birdies on each of the front and back nines, although a bogey on the ninth interrupted his flow.
Hanson also finished strongly, with an eagle and two birdies over the final holes enough to see him shoot a five-under 67.
American John Daly shot 67 to finish in outright fourth with a score of nine-under, while Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Gonnet, Dane Soren Hansen, Spaniard Sergio Garcia and Argentine Ricardo Gonzalez were all a stroke back in a tie for fifth.
World number four Martin Kaymer finished in a tie for ninth while world number three Lee Westwood was a shot further back in a tie for 12th.
Defending champion Thomas Bjorn finished in a tie for 27th, 11 shots off the pace.
