DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — India's Arjun Atwal won the Asian Tour's season-ending Dubai Open on Sunday, rallying on the final hole to beat 19-year-old South Korean player Wang Jeung-hun by a stroke.

A shot behind entering the par-5 18th, Atwal closed with a birdie and Wang made a bogey.

The 41-year-old Atwal won for the first time since the PGA Tour's 2010 Wyndham Championship. He finished with a 6-under 66 for a 16-under 272 total at The Els Club Dubai.

Wang had a 67.

Scotland's Simon Yates was third at 13 under after a 68.
