It was a day to remember for TOMMY FLEETWOOD as he claimed victory in the DP World India Championship, marking his eighth title on the prestigious European tour. With a stunning final round of seven-under-par 65, Fleetwood wrapped up the tournament at an impressive 22 under overall!
A Special Moment on the 18th Green

This was a first-time experience for both father and son, and it added an extra layer of joy to an already remarkable day.

This time, Fleetwood made it a point to share the moment with his son, who had expressed a desire to be there to watch his dad triumph.
Chasing the Leader
Heading into the final round, Fleetwood found himself in second place, trailing the leader, KEITA NAKAJIMA from Japan, by two strokes. While things looked tense at the start, Fleetwood turned on the charm, sinking four consecutive birdies from the seventh to the tenth holes. His incredible performance really began to shift the momentum of the game.
Meanwhile, DANIEL HILLIER from New Zealand started strong but faced a setback with a double bogey on the 14th hole, costing him his lead. Nakajima, who had dazzled during the third round, struggled and ultimately finished in a solid but not winning position at 20 under, giving Fleetwood space to soar ahead.
Birdies Fueling the Comeback
Continuing the Good Form
