Tommy Fleetwood takes Abu Dhabi title

English golfer Tommy Fleetwood has triumphed at the Abu Dhabi Championship to claim his second victory on the European Tour.

The 26-year-old entered the final round one shot behind compatriot Tyrrell Hatton and carded a five-under-par round of 67 to finish 17-under for the tournament.

An eagle on the final hole helped Dustin Johnson to joint second with Spain's Pablo Larrazabal on 16-under, while Lee Westwood carded a 69 to tie with Henrik Stenson for eighth on 13-under.

Hatton, meanwhile, had a disastrous final day, hitting 75 to finish 10-under.

For Fleetwood, the victory comes almost three-and-a-half years since he claimed a maiden victory in the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.
