Gallacher soars

BRITON Stephen Gallacher ended his nine-year wait for a second European Tour title in stunning fashion with a three-shot victory at the Dubai Desert Classic yesterday. Gallacher holed his approach to the par-4 16th in the final round for his fifth eagle of the week to shake off a persistent Richard Sterne of South Africa. "I'm obviously delighted," said Gallacher after carding a 1-under-par 71 in the final round. "It's taken a long time but it's sweeter now," added the Scot, whose only previous European Tour title in 404 starts came in 2004 at St Andrews. Sterne also fired a 71 while Chile's Felipe Aguilar (69) and Dane Thorbjorn Olesen (71) tied for third place.
