Tommy Fleetwood ended his three-year winless drought by clinching the Nedbank Golf Challenge 2022 taking home a whopping $1,025,000. The penultimate event of the DP World Tour concluded on November 13 at the Gary Player Country Club in Sun City, South Africa.

The event ended in a dramatic finale, where Tommy came from behind to win over Ryan Fox by just one stroke. Tommy almost withdrew from the tournament on Thursday due to ill health. The Englishman carded a 5 under 67 to clinch his sixth DP World Tour title and his second Nedbank Golf Challenge title. This was his first tour victory since the 2019 Nedbank Golf Challenge title. The next two editions of the tournament were not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Overall, he ended the week at 11 under, one shot ahead of Ryan Fox, who missed the title after hitting a bogey on the final hole. Meanwhile, Sharma finished third, two strokes behind Tommy.
"It has been a great week," Fleetwood said. "I have so many memories of this place, this has added to that. It was a lovely feeling.”
Tommy is currently ranked 13th in the DP World Tour rankings and will look forward to continuing his form in the season-ending Championships.
