DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Nicolai Hojgaard claimed the most important title of his profession Sunday after working off 5 straight birdies down the stretch to carry off Tommy Fleetwood and win the season-ending World Tour Championship on the European tour.
The 22-year-old Dane delivered a clinic in iron play to select up close-range birdies from Nos. 13-17 and shoot 8-under 64 to complete on 21-under par.
Fleetwood, enjoying within the ultimate group, bogeyed No. 17 so needed to eagle the par-5 final gap. His third shot settled past the flag and Hojgaard celebrated within the scoring hut.
He has received a event for 3 consecutive years on the European tour, however this was simply his largest and earned him $3 million.
