In January 2009, he won his third European Tour title, at the Commercialbank Qatar Masters, which moved him into the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time.

Quirós is noted for his length off the tee, and was the longest driver on the European Tour in 2006, 2007 and 2008, averaging nearly 310 yards.

He reached a career high of 21 in the Official World Golf Ranking after each of his two European Tour wins in 2011.

Since 2011 his best performances have been third place in the 2014 Volvo China Open and tied for fourth in the 2016 Omega Dubai Desert Classic.

In the playoff Lombard made a bogey at the second hole to give Quirós his seventh European Tour win.
