Andy Ogletree has \u2018got it done\u2019 in a blustery Doha, claiming a three-shot victory in the inaugural International Series Qatar.<\/p>\n

This result marks a second professional victory for the prodigious 24-year-old talent who captured his first Asian Tour win at the International Series Egypt in November 2022.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201c[I am] super pleased to be the champion here, it\u2019s unbelievable! What a great test we had this week. It was really hard, the course got really firm and fast I\u2019m so super proud to win a golf tournament playing like this”<\/p>\n

Ogletree followed his opening two rounds, both one-under-par 71s with a flawless 66 on Saturday to take an overnight five shot lead into the final day\u2019s play.<\/p>\n

Answering how comfortable he\u2019d been with being in that position, the Mississippi native said: \u201cI worked really hard this off-season, post Egypt and I just have a lot of confidence because I work so hard. I don\u2019t think anyone wants it more than me, I want to keep giving myself more opportunities and this is the route where I can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Battling the prevailing winds throughout the final day\u2019s play, Ogletree birdied the 4th<\/sup> and 18th<\/sup> holes, closing out with a total of seven-under-par.<\/p>\n

A trio of Thai talents made up of Gunn Charoenkul, Suradit Yongcharoenchai, and Phachara Khongwatmai finished second, third and fourth respectively, while Japan\u2019s Hideto Tanihara and Ben Leong of Malaysia tied in fifth place.<\/p>\n
