Aaron Rai Clinches the Abu Dhabi Title in Dramatic Playoff Showdown Against Tommy Fleetwood
Aaron Rai demonstrated exceptional nerve to secure the prestigious Abu Dhabi title on Sunday, beating his compatriot in a tense playoff following a rollercoaster last day of play.
Rai nailed a decisive birdie putt from around eight foot to clinch the win, echoing his only previous Rolex Series triumph at the 2020 Scottish Open, which was also a play-off victory against the same opponent.
Final Round Excitement
The champion started the final round with a single stroke advantage over fellow Englishman Fleetwood and Danish golfer Nicolai Højgaard. He ended up with a total score of 263 after a up-and-down, 67 final round that included seven birdies and a pair of bogeys.
Fleetwood moved one shot ahead with the 16th and 17th remaining after a birdie on the 16th, but Rai tied it up again on the 17th and then missed a 10-foot birdie attempt to win outright on the final green.
Playoff Climax
That led to a play-off at the Yas Links course where the eventual winner prevailed to take the championship and $1.5m (£1.13m) in prize money.
{“Tommy is a phenomenal golfer and an even more person. To play with him the final two rounds was really special,” said Rai, the present world No 30. “You’re so concentrated on your game and maintaining focus, it’s difficult to describe at the present how it is. It is incredible to be stood here.”
Notable Performances
Rory McIlroy left himself just too much to make up, coming up one shot behind in a shared third place with the Dane, after a spectacular 62 final round of ten-under. It was McIlroy’s best-ever score on the DP World Tour, comprising eight birdie putts and one eagle.
The Danish golfer fired six birdies of his as well, but his chances of topping the standings were hit by a dropped shot on the 12th. England’s Richard Mansell produced an superb final-round 63 to finish tied for fifth with Australia’s Hillier.
