Well done Scotland’s own major winner, Paul Lawrie, in striking a blow for all forty-somethings by winning the Qatar Masters yesterday. Okay, there will be those who will say that it was only a three-round tournament, but I doubt if that will  worry Paul as he banks the money, benefits from the world ranking points and enjoys his extra year’s tour exemption. He will point out also that he won by four shots, which doesn’t leave much room for doubt.
