China's Li Haotong delivered a jaw-dropping finale at the DP World Tour Qatar Masters, clinching his first title since 2022 with a nerve-wracking birdie putt on the 18th hole . The 29-year-old golfer showed nerves of steel in Doha, finishing at 16-under-par after a gripping final-round showdown.
Li started strong, extending his two-shot lead to four with back-to-back birdies. But Denmark's Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen turned up the heat, overtaking him briefly on the back nine. The pair duelled like characters in a sports anime , trading blows until the final hole.
