Danny Willett birdies the 18th hole to win the Dubai Desert Classic ahead of Andy Sullivan and Rafael Cabrera-Bello.

England's Danny Willett recorded a victory at the Dubai Desert Classic earlier today.

The 28-year-old headed into the final day with a one-shot lead thanks to his seven-under round of 65 on Saturday.

However, that advantage was closed up by fellow countryman Andy Sullivan and Rafael Cabrera-Bello, both of whom finished the tournament on 18-under.

Yet, world number 20 Willett headed down the 18th hole in the knowledge that a birdie would clinch him the title and he duly obliged.

The win is Willett's fourth on the European Tour and his first since July last year.
