Tommy Fleetwood<\/a> held off Japan’s Keita Nakajima to secure a two-shot victory in the DP World India Championship – and celebrated an eighth DP World Tour win with son Frankie on the 18th green.<\/p>\n

Ryder Cup winner Fleetwood – who had ended his long wait for a 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>\n

Nakajima 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’s Shane Lowry<\/a>, Englishman Alex Fitzpatrick and South African Thriston Lawrence, who also made 65 – which included an eagle on the 14th.<\/p>\n

New Zealand’s Daniel Hillier had looked to also be in contention after going into the turn six-under for the day – 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<\/a> 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 – and make the most of a special family moment.<\/p>\n

“I had said for all the good that has happened this year, a couple of things have disappointed me, that my DP World Tour<\/a> sort of has, so another win feels great,” the Southport golfer said in an interview with the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n

“We were at home last week and we were driving the buggy. I think we were playing golf together, and he [Frankie] just said randomly, ‘do you know what you’ve never done?’<\/p>\n

“He said, ‘you’ve never won a tournament and I’ve been able to run on to the 18th green’. I was like, ‘I’m writing that down’, so I had that written down all week.<\/p>\n

“It was just another opportunity really, there is going to be many more times where I hopefully get the chance to do that.<\/p>\n

“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

“It 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.”<\/p>\n
