Collin Morikawa became the first American winner of the European Tour’s Race to Dubai after securing a superb victory at the season-ending DP World Tour Championship.
The world No 2 overturned a three-shot deficit on an entertaining final day at Jumeriah Golf Estates, carding a six-under 66 to close out a bogey-free weekend and register a three-stroke win
Morikawa birdied five of his last seven holes to pull clear of the chasing pack and end the week on 17 under, with defending champion Matt Fitzpatrick sharing second spot alongside Alexander Bjork.
