World Number One George Groves held off the challenge of America's Chad Pfeifer to win the inaugural EDGA Dubai finale.
The 36 hole event featured some of the world's best Golfers with Disability and was taking place alongside the European Tour's season ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.
It was the second EDGA event taking place in conjunction with a Rolex Series event on the 2019 Race to Dubai after Groves finished second to Brendan Lawlor at the EDGA Scottish Open.
The Englishman has Erb’s Palsy, a condition which leaves him with 20 per cent strength in his left arm after a medical accident during birth, but that has not stopped him from rising to the top of the World Rankings for Golfers with Disability.
An opening 77 handed him a three shot lead and it looked like he might run away with things when he birdied the first in round two.

Military man Pfeifer took up golf after having his leg blown off in Iraq serving for the U.S. Army’s 3rd Airborne Battalion, and the 2011 US National Amputee Golf Champion applied some pressure as he carded the lowest round of the day with a 79.
But Groves went on to sign for an 82 and finish 15 over, three shots clear of Pfeifer.
"It's fantastic," he said. "I'm going to go home very proud of myself, celebrate with my friends and family. It will be really good.
"This tour has really changed my life. I think it's just changed me as a person, changed me as a golfer. I'm just really happy that I've actually managed to get into stuff like that. It's really good.
In 2006 @chadpfeifergolf lost his left leg above the knee in a roadside bomb in Iraq.

"It's really good to get us involved and on TV and show other people with disabilities get more into golf and, instead of lounging around at home, be confident in themselves and get out there and show what you can do.
"When I was younger I was a footballer and I was told to do exercise for my arm. My parents said do golf. I went to the range one day and I thought this could be something so I took golf up.
"To come out and win this, be World Number One, is just incredible. I'm pretty sure I've 100 per cent done the right choice."
American Christopher Biggins finished at 20 over, with Frenchman Charles-Henri Quélin, Irishman Lawlor, Australian Geoff Nicholas and Swede Joakim Bjorkman rounding out the field.
