This video brings you the highlights of Fleetwood’s remarkable round and the key moments from the tournament so far.
In a thrilling display of golf prowess, Tommy Fleetwood takes the lead at the DP World India Championship, leaving his RDER Cup teammate Rory Mroy in a fierce battle to stay in contention. The Englishman currently ranked fifth in the world, has made a stunning performance at the prestigious tournament, shooting an impressive 8 under 64 in the second round. With eight birdies and no bogeies, Fleetwood has jumped to a 1200 par for the week, leaving him one stroke ahead of former Open champions Shane Lowry and Brian Harmon. But here’s where it gets interesting. Fleetwood describes the Delhi Golf Club course as a unique challenge for all of us. He explains, “I haven’t hit more than a fivewood. It’s a test of patience. If you hit it good off the tea, you’re going to have some short irons and wedges, and you feel like you’ve always got a chance to get it wrong. It’s such a waiting game. Meanwhile, Mroy, who didn’t use his driver at all, faced a challenging back nine with back-to- back bogeies. However, he showed resilience by making birdies at four of his final six holes, shooting a 69 for the second straight day. Mroy is now at six under, tied with fellow European team member Victor Havland. As he walked off the 18th hole, he shook hands with cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, a special guest at the tournament. The question on everyone’s mind is, will Mroy change his strategy over the weekend to challenge Fleetwood’s lead? He says, “I don’t think so. I think if I’m struggling to hit fairways with my two iron, I’m not going to hit it with my driver. Same strategy, just have to hit it a little closer with my second shots and not miss as many putts. This highstakes golf tournament in India is not only a test of skill, but also a showcase of the sport’s ability to captivate audiences and create memorable moments. As the competition heats up, the question remains, can Mroy mount a comeback, or will Fleetwood’s lead hold? The stage is set for an exciting weekend of golf, and the world is watching.
