Lowry encouraged by display in Abu Dhabi

Irish golfer Shane Lowry showed he belonged in the professional ranks with an assured display in Abu Dhabi last week and now aims to prove he deserves his place in the world's top 100 at this week's Commercialbank Qatar Masters.

The 22-year-old, who only joined the pro ranks after winning the Irish Open as an amateur last May, produced a seasoned display to claim fourth at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship behind established trio Martin Kaymer, Ian Poulter and Rory McIlroy.
