Aaron Rai Wins the Abu Dhabi Title in Thrilling Playoff Showdown Versus Tommy Fleetwood
Aaron Rai displayed exceptional nerve to secure the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship on the final day, beating Tommy Fleetwood in a dramatic playoff after a rollercoaster final round of play.
Rai sank a crucial birdie from around eight foot to seal the win, repeating his only previous Rolex Series triumph at the 2020 Scottish Open, which was also a play-off win against Fleetwood.
Sunday's Play Excitement
Rai entered the last day with a one-shot lead over countryman Tommy Fleetwood and Denmark’s Højgaard. He finished with a overall score of 263 after a topsy-turvy, five-under closing round that featured seven birdie putts and a pair of bogeys.
Fleetwood moved one shot ahead with the 16th and 17th to play after a birdie on the sixteenth, but his rival tied it up again on the 17th and then failed to convert a ten-foot birdie putt to win outright on the last hole.
Playoff Climax
That set up a playoff at the Yas Links course where Rai triumphed to claim the title and $1.5 million (£1.13 million) in prize money.
{“Tommy is a phenomenal golfer and an even better person. To compete alongside him the final two rounds was truly memorable,” stated the winner, the present 30th-ranked player globally. “You’re so concentrated on your game and staying in the zone, it’s difficult to put into words at the present how it feels. It is amazing to be stood here.”
Other Performances
The Northern Irish star found himself just too much to do, finishing a stroke short in a tie for third with Højgaard, after a spectacular 10-under closing round of ten-under. It was McIlroy’s lowest-ever round on the DP World Tour, including eight birdie putts and an eagle.
The Danish golfer fired six birdie putts of his as well, but his hopes of leading the standings were dented by a bogey on the twelfth. England’s Mansell produced an superb final-round seven-under to end up tied for fifth with Australian Hillier.
