A STORMING final round in the Abu Dhabi Championship saw Justin Rose finish tied 12th with a final score of 276 (-12).

This was seven shots behind the winner of the event Frenchman Gary Stal.

The north Hampshire golfer ended on a high, as he hit seven birdies on his final round at holes four, four, six, seven, 12, 17 and 18 for a seven-under par round.

Rose started the tournament well with three birdies in the first three holes, but then struck four bogeys on the back nine to finish on 73 which was one over for the day.

Two rounds of 69 followed before his excellent finish with a 65.
