Overview
- Fitzpatrick won the Hero Indian Open on Sunday by two shots over defending champion Eugenio Chacarra with a closing 3‑under 69 to finish nine under at DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurugram.
- Starting four back and trailing by six after five holes, he birdied eight times between the sixth and 17th to seize control, and a double bogey at the last did not change the outcome.
- Chacarra, who led by four overnight, shot a three‑over 75 with six bogeys, including three in a row from the 15th, to end second at seven under as Andy Sullivan, Ugo Coussaud and M. J. Daffue tied for third at five under.
- The victory came a week after Matt Fitzpatrick won the PGA Tour’s Valspar Championship, making the brothers the first to win in successive weeks across the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.
- Fitzpatrick earned €375,811 and is set to climb into the Race to Dubai top 10, the DP World Tour’s season points list that can award PGA Tour cards, on a week when only three Indian players made the cut on the demanding Gary Player–designed course.
