FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Andrew Marshall completed a hat-trick of titles in Bahrain by winning the Fifth King Hamad Trophy over the Royal Golf Club's Montgomerie Course in Riffa.
The 39-year-old Englishman, who also regularly plays in the Bahrain Open over the sand course at Awali Golf Club, won his third successive title with a score 207, nine under par, in the 54 hole event.
Last year's runner-up, Younes El Hassani, was again in second place with 212.
Third was England’s Yasin Ali (215) ahead of Bahrain's top golfer Hamad Al Afnan.
More than 100 golfers, representing 20 countries from all over the world competed in the annual event, held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad and organised to mark Bahrain's National Day celebrations and the 13th anniversary of His Majesty King Hamad's accession to the throne.

 ANDREW MARSHALL CV
Marshall was born in Sutton-in-Ashfield and turned professional in 1995. In 2001, he finished 4th on the Challenge Tour Rankings to earn his card on the top level European Tour. In late 2001, in one of his first tournaments as a full member of the European Tour he finished 6th at the Omega Hong Kong Open. However, he failed to build on that start and had to regain his card via qualifying school at the end of the 2002.
Marshall maintained his playing status through the end of the 2007 season, with a best end of season ranking of 73rd on the Order of Merit in 2006, and best tournament results of runner-up at the 2003 Madeira Island Open and the 2006 Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles. In 2007, he slipped down the rankings and had to drop down to the Challenge Tour for 2008.
