Fleetwood Wins Inaugural DP World India Championship With Closing 65

The win vaults him into Race to Dubai playoff events.

Overview

  • Tommy Fleetwood finished 22-under to defeat Keita Nakajima by two strokes, as the overnight leader closed with a 69 for 20-under.
  • A run of four consecutive birdies from the seventh through the tenth sparked Fleetwood’s final-round surge, yielding eight birdies against one bogey.
  • Shane Lowry (68), Alex Fitzpatrick (67) and Thriston Lawrence (65) shared third at 18-under, while Viktor Hovland tied sixth after a chip-in eagle at the last.
  • New Zealand’s Daniel Hillier briefly led with seven birdies in his first 10 holes before a late double bogey and two bogeys dropped him to a tie for ninth.
  • Delhi Golf Club’s narrow Lodhi layout emphasized precision, with many players leaving drivers out of the bag, as Rory McIlroy finished tied 26th at 11-under.
