England's Tommy Fleetwood has vowed not to take his foot off the gas after securing his second European Tour title in Abu Dhabi last week.
The 26 year old will tee it up at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters this week, just days after he claimed a one-shot victory at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship to move up to 53rd in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Fleetwood, who finished in a share of seventh place in Doha last season, said although the win at Abu Dhabi Golf Club put him closer to achieving his goals for the year, he is keen to push on.
He said: "I'm a little bit tired today after the last two days, but yeah, it's very cool. A great way to start the year.
"Obviously we do know it opens up a couple more tournaments now, the WGCs.
Don't sort of take your foot off the gas. You've got to keep kicking on - Tommy Fleetwood
"It's brought us closer to the overall goal of the year to get into the top 50 in the world and get the World Ranking up as high as we can, and be playing that sort of schedule where it's World Golf Championships and Majors.
"So it's put us closer, but it's just really the start.
"We had to do something like that to actually get anywhere near. So don't sort of take your foot off the gas. You've got to keep kicking on."
And Fleetwood is looking forward to returning to a course he feels suits him this week.
He added: "I played well here last year. I actually feel like this course suits me more than last week.
"This one kind of fits my eye a little bit more. We'll see how we do.
"My game shouldn't have gone off too much. So we'll just see how we go. Hopefully we'll carry on."
The last Englishman to win this event was Chris Wood, who saw off the challenge of Sergio Garcia and George Coetzee in 2013 courtesy of an eagle at the last.
Wood is delighted to be back at the scene of his first European Tour triumph for the 20th edition of the tournament.
He said: "Every year I come back here, I always sort of remember the shots I hit and the finish in particular.
"Eagling the last to beat one of my sort of childhood heroes, Sergio Garcia, is pretty special.
"So yeah, every year I come back here, I sort of feel like I'm going to give myself a chance, just because of the memories that I have here. I always love coming back.
"I think obviously I've come on as a player since then. Four years ago is quite a long time. I've put myself in contention to win more events since, and I have done.
"There's nothing like feeling the importance of every single shot over the last few holes when you're in contention to win. You know, one shot, one putt missed here or there can make all the difference."
