Robert Rock charge, but Lee tops the lot
Robert Rock surged up the leaderboard on the final day to finish in a tie for 32nd in the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
The Staffordshire golfer posted five birdies in a flawless final round of five under par.
Wolverhampton’s Aaron Rai also saved his best until his final round, shooting a three-under-par 69 – though it could have been even better had he not bogeyed the 16th and 18th.
He finished with a total of two-over, 17 shots shy of winner Matthew Fitzpatrick, who pocketed the £2.2million first prize
Fitzpatrick held his nerve as an incredible late twist saw Lee Westwood win the Race to Dubai.
Fitzpatrick secured the first prize of £2.2million thanks to a closing 68 which left him 15 under par and a shot clear of Westwood, with Patrick Reed and Viktor Hovland another stroke back.
Outright second was enough for Westwood to pip Fitzpatrick to the Harry Vardon Trophy by just 17.8 points, with long-time leader Reed pushed down to third place.
Rai finished eighth in the Race to Dubai list after a strong season.
