Victor Perez clinched the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship trophy on Sunday (January 22) after a dramatic finale. The 30-year-old golfer registered a one-shot victory over Sebastian Soderberg and Min Woo Lee, who finished second.

Perez registered his lead after the third round and started the final round with two consecutive birdies. He then went on to miss three holes and finally got back in the competition with two birdies on the sixth and seventh holes.

The Frenchman maintained the lead on the last-second hole with a shot into the greenside bunker. With a bogey on the last hole, Victor lifted the trophy for the European Tour title.

He described his birdie on the 17th hole as his greatest shot. While speaking to the media, Victor said:

"It was probably the greatest shot I've ever hit."

The Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship was Perez's third European Tour title. Victor Perez has won seven professional tournaments in his career, including three European tours, two Challenge tours, and two other titles.

Perez competed at the Masters in 2020, where he finished at T-46, and later played at the PGA Championship, finishing in T-22. He competed at the US Open last year and also played at the Open Championship, where he finished at T34.
