The 2018 European Tour season has begun just as the 2017 one ended: with Tommy Fleetwood's name atop the standings.Facing the most difficult conditions of the week, Fleetwood charged down the stretch to shoot a 7-under 65 in the final round of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, good enough for a two-shot win and a successful title defense.Abu Dhabi was the start of Fleetwood's resurgence a year ago, the first of two European Tour victories en route to the season-long Race to Dubai title. This time around the Englishman started the final round two shots off the lead but rallied with six birdies over his final nine holes to reclaim the trophy.

Fleetwood was five shots behind countryman Ross Fisher when he made the turn, but he birdied the par-5 10th and then added four birdies in a five-hole stretch from Nos. 12-16. The decisive shot came on the final hole, when his pitch from the left rough nestled within a few feet of the hole for a closing birdie.Fleetwood's 22-under total left him two shots ahead of Fisher and four shots clear of Rory McIlroy and Matthew Fitzpatrick. After entering the week ranked No. 18, Fleetwood is expected to move to at least No. 12 in the world when the new rankings are published.
Overnight leaders Joel Dahmen and Matt Jones (who began his day with a quintuple-bogey 9, but battled back for a 1-under-par 71), along with Kelly Kraft and Graeme McDowell (who shot the round of the day, an 8-under-par 64) are a shot further back at 7-under. The cut came at 2-under par. Source: PGA Tour
