Here’s the full Dubai Invitational prize money breakdown…
Nacho Elvira survived a mid-round wobble to win the Dubai Invitational and his third DP World Tour title.
The 38-year-old Spaniard led by two going into the final round at Dubai Creek, and extended that to three early on Sunday, but bogeys at 8 and 9 allowed the chasing pack – including Shane Lowry, Rory McIlroy and David Puig – a chance to close in.
Lowry reached 10-under and was in pole position on the 72nd tee, only to finish with a double-bogey that dropped him into a tie for 3rd.
That bunker shot cost the Irishman a place in a playoff and almost $200,000 in prize money.
As it was, Elvira finished birdie-par to edge Daniel Hillier by a single shot and the lion’s share of the $2.75 million purse.
