first PGA Tour title<\/a> at the Tour Championship to claim the FedEx Cup in August, produced a superb seven-under final round of 65 to finish at 22-under in Delhi.<\/p>\nNakajima had been two strokes ahead going into Sunday, but could only manage three birdies as he signed for a 69. He ended two ahead of a three-man group of Ireland\u2019s Shane Lowry, Englishman Alex Fitzpatrick and South African Thriston Lawrence, who also made 65 \u2013 which included an eagle on the 14th.<\/p>\n
New Zealand\u2019s Daniel Hillier had looked to also be in contention after going into the turn six-under for the day \u2013 only for a double-bogey seven on the par-five 14th to scupper his chances, with more dropped shots at the next and then again on 18.<\/p>\n
Masters champion Rory McIlroy placed in a tie for 26th at 11 under, finishing with a final round of 71, which had two bogeys on the front nine and another at the 14th.<\/p>\n
Fleetwood, who rattled off four successive birdies from the seventh, was happy to get another long overdue individual tournament victory under his belt \u2013 and make the most of a special family moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had said for all the good that has happened this year, a couple of things have disappointed me, that my DP World Tour sort of has, so another win feels great,\u201d the Southport golfer said in an interview on the DP Tour website.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were at home last week and we were driving the buggy. I think we were playing golf together, and he (Frankie) just said randomly, \u2018do you know what you\u2019ve never done?\u2019 He said, \u2018you\u2019ve never won a tournament and I\u2019ve been able to run on to the 18th green\u2019. I was like, \u2018I\u2019m writing that down\u2019, so I had that written down all week.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was just another opportunity really, there is going to be many more times where I hopefully get the chance to do that. But all day today, I had in my mind could I put myself in a position where I can actually make that moment happen?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is just one of those little things, it means a lot to me. It means so much to me. That was really cool, that is what I wanted to do all day.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tommy Fleetwood held off Japan\u2019s Keita Nakajima to secure a two-shot victory in the DP World India Championship…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":224675,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-224674","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224674"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224674\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
