Fleetwood, representing England, concluded the tournament at 19-under-par overall, sealing the win with a final-round 67 that included a crucial birdie on the last hole. The thrilling finish at the Dubai Creek Resort saw McIlroy and South Africa&#8217;s Thriston Lawrence (27) trailing closely, both just one shot behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expressing his satisfaction with his performance, Fleetwood commented, &#8220;It was great. I think I was very happy with the way I played today for the large majority of the round.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McIlroy briefly took the solo lead with a birdie on the 17th, reaching 19-under par overall. However, a misstep on the final hole, where he hit the water, opened the door for Fleetwood. Displaying composure, Fleetwood birdied the last hole, securing his seventh DP World Tour title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"de\" dir=\"ltr\">Birdie-birdie finish.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TommyFleetwood1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@TommyFleetwood1<\/a> wins in Dubai! ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DubaiInvitational?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#DubaiInvitational<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pVB4zVhJVE\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/pVB4zVhJVE<\/a><\/p>&mdash; DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DPWorldTour\/status\/1746506528406831309?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January 14, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;In the first week back out, you have to anticipate making some of those careless errors. Unfortunately, for me, some of those mistakes occurred at inopportune moments,&#8221; McIlroy remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fleetwood commenced the day with a one-shot lead over the world number two, and he faced a formidable challenge from McIlroy and Lawrence, who delivered an impeccable seven-under-par 64.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McIlroy, with three consecutive birdies early on the back nine, managed to draw level before a second bogey on the 14th disrupted his momentum. However, Fleetwood&#8217;s sole bogey of the round at the 16th set the stage for an exciting finish, as the Englishman closed with two birdies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on the round, Fleetwood commented, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t hole some of the putts that I wanted to, and it was great watching one of the world&#8217;s best players in golf, Rory, observing how he attacked the back nine. It was a bit up and down towards the end, with a sloppy bogey on the 16th. But I managed birdies on 17 and 18.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How it finished ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DubaiInvitational?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#DubaiInvitational<\/a><\/p>&mdash; DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DPWorldTour\/status\/1746519681266012511?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January 14, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24hscore news In a riveting conclusion on Sunday, Tommy Fleetwood (32) secured victory in the Dubai Invitational by a narrow one-shot margin after Rory McIlroy (34) bogeyed his last hole.
