Tommy Fleetwood substituted his 7-wood for a new Stealth UDI 3-iron as he held off an in-form Ryan Fox and Shubhankar Sharma to make it back-to-back wins at the Nedbank Golf Challenge.
A five-under 67 was good enough for a one-shot win over Fox but it was a moment of magic which allowed him to take the outright lead.
Fleetwood had slipped back after a bogey at the 12th and found himself in the bunker on the par 5 14th in two. A long shot from the sand was far from a guaranteed up and down, but an unexpected chip in eagle took him to 11 under and moments later, Sharma and Fox rolled in their birdie putts and all of sudden there was a three-way tie.

Sharma bogeyed the 16th and 17th to tumble out of contention, whilst Fox paid the price for a poor tee shot by making bogey down the last. Fleetwood went on to make a par to secure his sixth DP World Tour title and put himself into fourth position going in to this week’s DP World Tour Championship.
Fleetwood’s victory was aided by an all-round impressive performance from tee to green. He gained 3.01 strokes over the field average Tee To Green, hit 81% of greens in regulation and gained 1.33 strokes over the field average on the Approach The Green stats.
