Fleetwood wins in Abu Dhabi for 2nd European Tour title

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- Tommy Fleetwood broke free from a pack of contenders containing three major champions to win the Abu Dhabi Championship by one shot on Sunday, ending the Englishman's 3+-year wait for a second European Tour title.

In a tense final round in which five players held the lead, the 26-year-old Fleetwood chipped in for eagle from 20 yards at the par-5 10th hole to spark a back nine of 31. That helped him to a 5-under 67 and 17 under par overall.

Only an eagle from Pablo Larrazabal in the final group could deny Fleetwood, and the 2014 champion managed a birdie.
