The English golfer Wins Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in Thrilling Playoff Battle Against Fellow Englishman Fleetwood
Aaron Rai demonstrated remarkable nerve to secure the prestigious Abu Dhabi title on the final day, defeating his compatriot in a tense playoff following a rollercoaster final round of play.
Rai sank a crucial birdie putt from just over eight foot to seal the win, repeating his sole prior Rolex Series success at the 2020 Scottish Open, which was likewise a playoff win against Fleetwood.
Final Round Excitement
Rai started the last day with a single stroke lead over fellow Englishman Fleetwood and Danish golfer Højgaard. He ended up with a overall score of 263 after a topsy-turvy, five-under closing round that included seven birdie putts and a pair of bogeys.
The challenger edged one shot clear with the 16th and 17th to play after a birdie putt on the sixteenth, but Rai pulled level again on the 17th and then failed to convert a 10-foot birdie putt to claim victory on the final green.
Playoff Climax
This led to a play-off at Yas Links where Rai prevailed to claim the title and $1.5 million (£1.13m) in prize money.
{“Tommy is a phenomenal golfer and an even better individual. To compete alongside him the final two rounds was really special,” stated the winner, the present world No 30. “You’re so focused on playing the round and maintaining focus, it’s difficult to describe at the present how it feels. It is amazing to be holding the trophy.”
Other Performances
The Northern Irish star found himself just too much to make up, finishing one shot behind in a tie for third with the Dane, after a spectacular 62 final round of 62. It was his lowest-ever score on the European Tour, comprising eight birdies and one eagle.
The Danish golfer fired six birdie putts of his as well, but his chances of leading the standings were dented by a bogey on the 12th. English golfer Mansell produced an superb last round 63 to end up in a tie for fifth place with Australian Hillier.
