Tommy Fleetwood Shines in DP World India Championship as He Celebrates with Son Frankie
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
As if this achievement wasn’t sweet enough, Fleetwood was joined by his son, FRANKIE, on the 18th green for a jubilant celebration. This was a first-time experience for both father and son, and it added an extra layer of joy to an already remarkable day. You could see how much it meant to Fleetwood, especially since Frankie was unable to attend his previous PGA Tour Championship win back in August 2024. 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
Fleetwood’s final round was peppered with key birdies on the 14th and 17th holes, which helped him create a comfortable two-shot advantage by the time he reached the final hole. The crowd couldn’t help but cheer him on as he approached the finish line!
Continuing the Good Form
With this victory, Fleetwood not only secured his spot in the season-ending tournaments, but he also continued to build on his fantastic form since the Ryder Cup. He credited his success in part to improved putting skills during this tournament, highlighting how important every shot was in capturing the title.
Notable Performers
In addition to Fleetwood and Nakajima, several other golfers made their mark in the tournament. ALEX FITZPATRICK, SHANE LOWRY, and THRISTON LAWRENCE all finished tied for third at an impressive 18 under. Meanwhile, VIKTOR HOVLAND finished tied for fourth at 17 under, punctuating his round with an eagle on the last hole. Not everyone had the same fortune, as RORY MCILROY ended his day tied for 25th at 11 under par.
Looking Ahead
Fleetwood’s connection with Frankie on that green is a reminder of how special sports can be, not just in terms of competition, but also in creating lasting memories with loved ones. As a father, he emphasized his hope for many more opportunities like this in the future.
What a day it was for Tommy Fleetwood, as he continues to etch his name into the annals of golfing greatness while also embracing the joy of fatherhood. Cheers to many more victories and memorable moments ahead!
