Fleetwood wins inaugural India C'ship; Shiv Kapur best Indian at T-32

‘The moment Tommy Fleetwood sealed a two-shot win at the inaugural DP World India Championship, his son Frankie sprinted across the 18th green and leapt into his arms a moment the Englishman had quietly carried in his heart all week.

In a gripping final round at the Delhi Golf Club, Fleetwood, who started the day two shots behind, displayed trademark calm under pressure, fending off a spirited challenge from New Zealander Daniel Hiller (69) to close with a total of 266 and lift his eighth DP World Tour title “ his first on Indian soil.

“We were playing golf last week. I mean, to be honest, he (Frankie) never shuts up, so there's always something coming out of his mouth, and he just happened to say randomly, he said, ‘you know what you've never done’. He said -- it could have been anything, to be fair. He said, ‘you've never won a tournament and I’ve been able to run on to the 18th green,” he said.
