- Tommy Fleetwood has come out on top on the final day to win the Race to Dubai
- A late collapse from Justin Rose meant Fleetwood was crowned European No 1
- Fleetwood finished in a tie for 21st after a round of 74, while Rose tied for fourth
- Jon Rahm carded a closing round of 64, finising on -19 to win the DP World Tour
Spain’s Jon Rahm won the DP World Tour Championship as Justin Rose’s dramatic late collapse saw Tommy Fleetwood crowned European No 1.
Rose looked set for a remarkable third win in succession to seal a second Race to Dubai title when he led by a shot with seven holes to play, only to bogey three of the next five.
That left the Olympic champion needing to eagle the last to overhaul Fleetwood, but his long-range attempt slid past the hole as Fleetwood looked on alongside his fiancee Clare and their seven-week-old son.
