Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer were easy first-round win

DUBAI -- Two years to the day after gaining his European Tour card, Matt Fitzpatrick won the DP World Tour Championship in dramatic fashion as Open champion Henrik Stenson clinched the Race to Dubai title.Tyrrell Hatton looked set to claim his second victory in the space of seven weeks after holing a bunker shot for par on the 17th to preserve a one-shot lead at Jumeirah Golf Estates.However, the 25-year-old then drove into the creek which runs the length of the par-five 18th and carded his only bogey of a closing 68 to open the door for Fitzpatrick in the group behind.The 22-year-old from Sheffield needed par to force a play-off or a birdie to win and duly got up and down from a greenside bunker to complete a 67 and claim the first prize of more than ￡1 million.It means the world, the Ryder Cup player said after becoming the youngest Englishman to win three times on the European Tour, eclipsing the record of six-time major winner Sir Nick Faldo.To win one of these Final Series events is really special. Words cant describe it. Its not going to sink in for a while. Its been a special year and then to end it like this with a win is amazing.Its two years to the day I got my card at the qualifying school. When you think about it, its crazy. Its all happened so fast. Now I feel this win gives me the confidence to push further and further and see what we can do next season.Hatton, who won the Dunhill Links Championship last month, admitted losing out in such a manner was a bitter pill to swallow but added: For me its been the best year of my life so I cant get too downbeat. Im sure hopefully in the future Ill take my next chance.If you told me at the start of the year I would finish fourth in the Race to Dubai I would have been surprised. Its been such a great year and Im very happy with that.South Africas Charl Schwartzel finished alone in third, with overnight leader Victor Dubuisson, Francesco Molinari, Soren Kjeldsen, Nicolas Colsaerts and Bernd Wiesberger tied fourth.Stensons share of ninth was more than enough to make certain of ending the year as European number one, the Swede carding a closing 65 which was matched by playing partner and defending champion Rory McIlroy.Masters champion Danny Willett, who started the week 299,675 points behind Stenson, tied for 50th in the 60-man field after a closing 70. Swedens Alexander Noren, who was the other player capable of ending the season on top of the money list, was joint 23rd.Im very pleased to get my name on this trophy once again, said Stenson, who was the first man to win the Race to Dubai and FedEx Cup in the same season in 2013.Its been a great year, the best year of my career.Ive always thought it was going to be hard to top 2013, but I think Ive done that. Maybe not to the level of golf over six months, but certainly with the highlights of winning the Open, the Olympic [silver medal] and managing to win the Race to Dubai again.McIlroy was left to rue an opening 75, his only over-par score in the tournaments history, as he missed out on a fourth win of the season.If I had just shot something around level par, one under, I would have been right in the tournament, the world number two said.But these things happen and I played well for the remaining three days and at least redeemed myself a little bit.Willett had to settle for second in the money list for the second year running after struggling to rediscover top form following a winless Ryder Cup debut at Hazeltine.Its a disappointing four-week stretch that Ive just had, to end what still will be a pretty memorable year, he said.The golfs just not been good enough this last two months, maybe playing too much and trying to force the issue instead of just playing a limited amount and backing yourself to do well in the ones that you play in.I think the body and mind need a bit of a rest and hopefully I can come out fresh around a golf course that I quite like at Hong Kong [in December] and then have a good four or five-week break over Christmas.

Authentic Custom Coyotes Jersey .com) - Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer were easy first-round winners Tuesday at the Australian Open. In December, Charlie Strong boarded a flight to Tulsa with a Texas contingent that included university president Greg Fenves. Their mission: Convince Sterlin Gilbert to fix the Longhorns offense.The move seems to be working, but Strong faces another, equally pressing challenge that doesnt require presidential involvement or a private plane. This one hits much closer to home for the Texas coach. Strong, who built his reputation as a premier defensive coordinator, oversees a defense that has allowed 97 points in its first two games against Power 5 opponents.After hinting at a staff shakeeup, Strong decided to retain coordinator Vance Bedford and instead take a more active role in the defenses preparation and in-game activities.ddddddddddddts on me, Strong said Monday. I coach defense, I know defense, and I know how to stop people. Thats why its on me, also, just not only on our defensive staff.Strong isnt the first head coach to take a larger role in fixing the area he knows best. How much involvement is too much? Whats the right approach? ' ' '
