Tommy Fleetwood produced a brilliant final-day birdie burst to win the inaugural DP World India Championship with an impressive two-shot victory in New Delhi.
Three weeks on from finishing top scorer for Team Europe in their historic Ryder Cup win on American soil, Fleetwood continued his memorable season by delivering an impressive victory at Delhi Golf Club.
The FedExCup champion overturned a two-stroke deficit in an eventful final round, where five birdies in a seven-hole stretch helped him move top of a congested leaderboard and closer to victory.
Fleetwood made four consecutive birdies from the seventh hole
Fleetwood mixed eight birdies with a lone bogey to end the week on 22 under, two strokes clear of overnight leader Keita Nakajima, with Shane Lowry finishing three strokes back in tied-third alongside Alex Fitzpatrick and Thriston Lawrence.
A chip-in eagle on the final hole lifted Viktor Hovland to tied-sixth alongside Jayden Schaper and Joost Luiten, while Daniel Hillier – briefly two ahead after seven birdies in his first 10 holes on Sunday – dropped back to tied-ninth after two bogeys and a double bogey in his final five holes.
