Congratulations to Tommy Fleetwood and Ian Finnis on another incredible victory — this time in India at the DP World India Championship.

Played at the historic Delhi Golf Club, the course presented a very different test from what players usually face on tour — tight tree-lined fairways, smaller greens, and a heavy premium on precision. Tommy and Fino handled it superbly, finishing -22 for a two-shot win.

Precision. Patience. Performance.

Tommy ranked:

• 1st in Birdies – averaging 6.0 per round

• 3rd in Fewest Bogeys – just 1.0 per round
  That combination of aggression and control perfectly sums up his week.

A Strategic Masterclass Off the Tee

With the Delhi Golf Club rewarding accuracy over power, many players chose to keep the driver in the bag — Tommy included. Instead, he mixed 5-wood, 9-wood, and long irons off the tee to control position.

That decision paid off beautifully:

• +0.89 Strokes Gained Off the Tee

• 77% fairways hit

• 77% of drives within a 25-yard dispersion

• 96% within a 45-yard window

Pure control. No risk. Maximum efficiency.

Iron Play: Classic Fleetwood

Known as one of the game’s finest iron players, Tommy’s precision from approach ranges was again a key differentiator.
He gained +1.58 Strokes Gained: Approach, excelling across multiple yardages.

From 125–200 yards, he hit the green 78% of the time — an elite number under any condition.
Even better, 17% of those approaches finished inside 10 feet, and 24% inside 20 feet of the pin.

That consistency kept the pressure on the field all week long.

Short Game and Putting: Complete Control

His short game backed up the ball-striking with equal strength.
From both easy and medium lies around the green, Tommy averaged 4 feet to the hole — an elite scrambling standard.

• 52% of his short-game shots finished inside 6 feet

• 34% finished inside 3 feet

On the greens, Tommy continued his recent putting form, gaining +1.19 Strokes Gained: Putting for the week — including a huge +3.74 in Round 4 when it mattered most.

He holed 9 putts outside 10 feet and was particularly sharp from the 5–25 foot range.
