Louis played in the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship and finished in 5th position. He shot rounds of 67, 71, 68 and 66 giving him a four round total of 272, sixteen under par.

"I had 63 in my head if I wanted a chance of winning. So I started off okay, and then when I birdied 10, 11, 12, it was on, and like I said I missed a few fairways on the back nine and couldn't really attack the pin and I had to scramble for par. I'm very happy with 66.  I've got nothing but positives to take from this, because I thought I did very well today".

Germany's Martin Kaymer won the event at twenty one under par, one shot ahead of England's Ian Poulter.

Louis now travels to Qatar for the Commercialbank Qatar Masters which begins on Thursday.
