Tommy Fleetwood Overhauls Nakajima to Win Inaugural DP World India Championship

The Englishman closed with a seven-under 65 to overturn a two-shot deficit, strengthening his Race to Dubai standing at the DP World Tour’s new stop in New Delhi.

Overview

  • Fleetwood finished at 22-under 266 with eight birdies and one bogey, two clear of Keita Nakajima, who shot 69 to end at 20-under.
  • A four-birdie burst from holes 7–10 put Fleetwood in control on the tight, tree-lined Lodhi course where many players left driver out of the bag.
  • Shane Lowry (68), Alex Fitzpatrick (67) and Thriston Lawrence (65) shared third at 18-under, while Viktor Hovland’s chip-in eagle at 18 secured a share of sixth.
  • Daniel Hillier briefly led after seven birdies in his first 10 holes on Sunday before late mistakes dropped him to tied ninth.
  • Rory McIlroy shot 71 to finish tied 26th at 11-under, as Fleetwood claimed his eighth DP World Tour title and secured play-off eligibility via a significant Race to Dubai jump.
