Fitzpatrick leads by 1 at Dubai Desert Classic

Matthew Fitzpatrick birdied five of his last six holes to shoot a 7-under-par 65 yesterday and take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Dubai Desert Classic.

Fitzpatrick’s strong finish saw him shoot his lowest score in an opening round since 2015 and break a logjam at the top of the leaderboard, with Sergio Garcia and Bryson DeChambeau among eight players to shoot 66 at Emirates Golf Club. Nine players are a further shot behind after 67s, including Britons Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter as well as China’s Li Haotong. The biggest win of Fitzpatrick’s career came in Dubai, at the end-of-season World Tour Championship in 2016.
