TaylorMade Golf – Tommy Fleetwood captures the Nedbank Golf Challenge with Stealth Plus driver and TP5x Pix golf ball

November 13, 2022 – Tommy Fleetwood held on to his crown at the Nedbank Golf Challenge after winning a thrilling battle with Ryan Fox down the stretch at the Gary Player Country Club. The Englishman sealed his sixth DP World Tour victory three years after he last lifted the trophy in Sun City – with the event returning for the first time since 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Tommy Fleetwood shot a final round 5-under 67 to come from behind and claim a one-stroke victory, 11 under par. Tommy, who was defending the title he secured in 2019, played all four rounds under par and went 70-70-70-67.

The Team TaylorMade player started the day three shots off the pace but fired four birdies and an eagle in a closing round  to storm through the leaderboard. Trailing by one shot on the par-5 14th Tommy produced a moment of magic to hole out for eagle with his TP5x Pix golf ball. From there, and playing the Stealth Plus driver with a lot of accuracy, he would hold out for a well-deserved one-shot victory in Sun City.

“It was great that I had a week that I was swinging it well. It wasn’t overly stressful for me and I just had in my mind to keep going… you never know what happens at the end of the week. It’s a nice feeling when you feel like you can press on at the end of the year, you are playing great, and you have a chance in these huge events”, said Tommy Fleetwood.

Now he moves to #4 in the DP World Tour Race to Dubai standings heading into the DP World Tour Championship next week.

Tommy’s all-round game was on fire all week. He made only five bogeys all week (T1) and was second in Strokes Gained Tee to Green (+2.99). He had full control of his TP5x Pix golf ball and hit a staggering 81.93% Greens in Regulation, gaining +16.17 versus the field average.
