Panama Star ABU DHABI. Paul Casey had enough strokes in the bank to withstand a late wobble and won the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship for the second time in three years here on Sunday.

The 31-year-old Englishman, who started the day with a four-stroke lead over defending champion Martin Kaymer, made three bogeys in four holes on the back nine, but four solid pars over the closing stretch gave him a one-stroke win over last year's champion Martin Kaymer.
