Padraig Harrington rolled back the years in Abu Dhabi this week, producing a fourth place finish at the European Tour event, while Shane Lowry and Seamus Power finished in a tie for 28th and 20th, respectively.
Lowry had been in a tie for first place heading into the final round, but finished with a disappointing four over par 76 at the Yas Links course.
Both Harrington and Power went under par on the last day with Harrington shooting a 67 and Power a 69.
In terms of prize money, Harrington walks away with $450,000, while Power and Lowry will have to divvy up their shares of $108,000 and $85,500.

Harrington recently spoke about his change in attitude towards the game, which has seen serious results on the course:
"This afternoon will involve eating chocolate, drinking my Diet Coke, sitting on my bed watching Netflix or something.
"I’m different at this age. I have a much better handle on experience, who I am and what I need to do. I am in a good place.
"Before everybody did stats, I did stats. Now that everybody does their own stats, I’m refusing to do stats because I don’t want to be one of the masses. I have to be different, so I’m actually trying the opposite...
"When I did that in my heyday I would have been quite hyped up and stressed about it. Today it was ‘ho-hum, this is what I do’.
"I think there’s a lot of players who will get to 50 years of age fitter, stronger. The biggest problem is burnout. I was burnt out five years ago, no doubt about it. I’m here because I had nothing else to do.
"I figured out this is actually what I like doing and I’m pretty good at it and there’s no point in trying to be good at something else. I’ll never be as good as I am at golf, so why not find a way of going out there and loving golf again."
