Tommy Fleetwood Conquers the India Championship with a Spectacular Comeback
In a display of exceptional play, Tommy Fleetwood capped off an outstanding season with a commanding victory at the India Championship. Fleetwood, fueled by an impressive run of birdies, secured the win with a final round of 65 strokes, seven under par, surpassing Keita Nakajima by two strokes. This triumph marks the third major celebration for Fleetwood in recent months, adding to his victory in the FedEx Cup and his outstanding participation in the Ryder Cup with the European team. Nakajima, who led the competition at the start of the final round, couldn’t keep up with Fleetwood’s overwhelming performance. The key to Fleetwood’s triumph was a series of four consecutive birdies, which allowed him to reverse the situation and take the lead.For Fleetwood, this victory represents his eighth title on the European circuit and grants him eligibility to participate in the final two events of the European season, the Abu Dhabi Championship and the Tour Championship in Dubai. His rise in the Race to Dubai rankings, from 94th to 25th, is a testament to his excellent performance. A particularly emotional moment was the celebration with his 8-year-old son Frankie, who ran to greet him on the 18th hole green. Nakajima, despite his effort, had difficulties with precision in his final shots, although he managed to stay competitive in the tournament. Shane Lowry, Thriston Lawrence, and Alex Fitzpatrick shared third place in the ranking. Rory McIlroy, in his first tournament appearance in India, finished in 26th place.I feel that, despite all the good that has happened this year, some things have disappointed me. Another victory feels great.
