Analyzing Dubai Invitational 2024 Champion Tommy Fleetwood’s Performance This Week
There is no doubt that Tommy Fleetwood was a sensation throughout his campaign at the Dubai Invitational. His first-round score was 5 under 66 which included five birdies. In his second round on Friday, he managed to score 2 under 69. His scorecard had four birdies and two bogeys.
Fleetwood peaked his brilliant skillset on Saturday. He carded a blistering bogey-less round of 8 under 63 and shot eight birdies. He shot three consecutive birdies from hole no. 12 to hole no. 15. After the end of this round, he topped the leaderboard of any DP World Tour event for the first time at the end of the first 54 holes in his 10-year career.
Finally, on Sunday, the golf pro started with a safe 2 under 33 in his front nine holes. Later on, in the back nine holes, he shot a bogey at the 10th hole and followed it with five consecutive par scores. He slipped on the leaderboard after shooting a bogey on the 16th hole. However, after carding two consecutive birdies in the final two holes, Fleetwood jumped on the top of the table and won the Dubai Invitational 2024.
In one word, Tommy Fleetwood’s outing at Dubai Invitational 2024 was absolutely “sensational”. He recorded his seventh DP World Tour Victory and will now prepare to enter the next mega event of the Tour next week, the Dubai Dessert Classic.
