Little Aston professional Brian Rimmer won his second Gulf Air International Pro-Captain Challenge, supported by BMW, title in three years with victory in the 2007 Grand Final in Bahrain.
However, the 41-year-old 2005 champion was put in the shade by his amateur partner Neil Andrews on the final day as he carded five birdies in their second-round 58 on the King's private course in Safriya.
That, combined with yesterday's 57, gave them a 13-under-par total and a three-shot cushion over Royal Mid Surrey's Matthew Pagett and Peter Brooks, who had rounds of 58 and 60.
First-day leaders Paul Wardell and Guido Biccochi, of Whitekirk near Edinburgh, saw their one-shot advantage over Little Aston wiped out as they also finished on 10 under with scores of 56 and 62 but were ranked third on a second-round countback.
The victory for Rimmer, who claimed the £2,000 first prize playing in his third successive Grand Final, and Andrews, playing in his second, made up for their disappointment in the 2006 edition when they fell two short of winning.
"It's fantastic. I didn't realise until the end [how well they had done]. There are no leaderboards so you don't know how anyone is doing," he said.
"We were only two under on the front nine and we heard someone was five under and we thought it would be really tight.
"Neil had a few nett birdies, he played great and made a huge difference, especially the back nine where we knew we needed to make birdies.
"He only had two shots on that and made two nett birdies, plus a two on a par three and I came in when needed really."
Having started the day one behind the Scottish pair, whom they were playing alongside, the Little Aston duo dropped further behind when their rivals birdied the first.
However, birdies for Andrews at the fourth and sixth (nett) and Rimmer's first at the eighth took them out in 28 - three better than Whitekirk.
Three birdies (including two nett birdies) for Andrews and one for his professional between 11 and 15 took them clear of their rivals and secured victory.
Rimmer could not explain why he has done so well in this event over the last three years but accepted a good partner can make the difference.
"We are comfortable with each other, we enjoy each other's company and we don't get stressed. He (Andrews) played really good," added the midlands pro.
"The whole trip is just fantastic. It would be lovely to come back.
"It is just such a nice trip, everyone does everything for you it is just brilliant. For this time of year, February, back home it is quiet at the golf club and it is perfect."
Andrews, who has benefited from Little Aston's policy of giving captain's two-year stints, felt the pair of them worked well and the experience of missing out last year had spurred them on.
"Brian is a very strong player so he is always going to make par - you just need to make birdie here and there to keep the score ticking along and we did," said the 57-year-old six handicapper.
"Just to get here is a bonus but it is nice to go one better. We felt last year we played well but it wasn't to be, the opposition played better than we did.
"I'm delighted obviously."
The Royal Mid Surrey pair of Pagett and Brooks struggled to create any momentum as their birdies were too far apart and after being two under through seven they dropped a shot at the 351-yard eighth.
"It was hard work. We didn't play very well. We probably got just about as much as we could out of it," said the Surrey professional.
"We got wind that 10 under was more or less the lead at one point and we were nine under.
"We had four holes to play but I think after that they (Little Aston) had a couple of shot holes to come and we knew we would be up against it.
"It was all a bit of a struggle. Nothing really kick-started us and I three-putted eight from not really any distance to drop a shot and that really slowed us down."
Amateur partner Brooks was disappointed not to have contributed more than his one nett birdie today but said: "I've enjoyed it massively, playing under a bit of tournament pressure.
"I only had two birdies (over the two days) and it was not enough but it was a good team thing."
Scotsman Wardell was disappointed not to have closed out victory but admitted they did not play well enough.
"We never got going. I birdied the first hole and I thought 'Here we go' but we bogeyed the fourth," he said.
"We were one under at the turn but the 10th was our downfall, Guido three-putted for five and I hit it in a bunker and took six.
"It is the dropped shots that kill you. We made mistakes at the same time."
Bicocchi, who will get a shot to qualify for the tournament again as he has a two-year captaincy, added: "It is a really good experience and we will be gunning hard to come back next time."
West Region duo Nick Ellis and Roger Downes, from Naunton Downs, put themselves in a position to challenge with a front nine of just 27 but came home in 34 to finish fourth on eight under after opening with a 59.
Irish pair Raymond Ryan and Pat Coen, from Athenry, carded 59 to reach seven-under 121, just one ahead of the local team from hosts Riffa Club, professional Mike Braidwood and captain Phil Durnford, who added a 62 to their opening 60.
Hallowes club pair John Oates and John Nolan recorded a 61 to go with yesterday's 62 to finish five under, while international qualifiers Scotsman Elliott Gray and amateur partner Graham Alban, from Dubai-based Arabian Ranches, were three shots further behind after following their opening 60 with a 66.
Defending champion David Wilton, with captain Vico Battaglia, returned a 63 to finish on one-under 127.
