47-year-old Westwood claims third order of merit crown
Matthew Fitzpatrick wins Tour Championship by one stroke
A second victory at the season-ending Tour Championship was not enough for Matthew Fitzpatrick to prevent Lee Westwood from creating history in Dubai. At 47 years, seven months and 20 days, Westwood became the oldest player to claim the European Tour’s order of merit title, now called the Race to Dubai. The scale of Westwood’s longevity is emphasised by the fact this is his third order of merit crown, 20 years after his first. At 26, Fitzpatrick appears a mere pup in comparison. A sport for all ages indeed.
