Tommy Fleetwood admitted he had been determined to retain his hunger after successfully defending the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. Fleetwood fired a final-round 65 to finish 22 under par, two shots clear of fellow Englishman Ross Fisher. It was the 27-year-old’s fourth European Tour victory and came just two months after he was crowned the 2017 Race to Dubai champion. But European number one Fleetwood produced an incredible birdie blitz to come home in 30 shots. "I just had the lines going really well," Fleetwood said after a round which featured eight birdies and only one bogey.
