Tommy Fleetwood successfully defends Abu Dhabi title
Abu Dhabi Golf Club was once again the ‘Home of Champions’ as it welcomed 8 of the world’s top 20, including No.1 Dustin Johnson, for another thrilling opening to the European Tour’s ‘Desert Swing’ at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA.
And while Johnson was joined in what is historically the second strongest European Tour field of the season by four-time Major winner, Rory McIlroy, and Olympic gold medallist, Justin Rose, it was defending champion, Tommy Fleetwood who continued his winning ways around the National Course, completing back-to-back victories with a score of 22-under-par (266).
