The final round of the European Tour season takes place on Sunday with the last 18 holes of the DP World Tour Championship out in Dubai and there is plenty on the line. We will crown the winner of this tournament and the Race to Dubai and European no1 spot will also be determined on what promises to be a fantastic day of golf.

Saturday Recap
The Race to Dubai title will go right down to the wire as Tommy Fleetwood has pulled to within two shots of Justin Rose heading into the final 18 holes. Their little battle is one of many battles within the overall picture which will be played out on Sunday.
Rose actually leads the golf tournament now on 15 under par, one shot ahead of our pre-tournament outright pick Dylan Frittelli who flew through the field on Saturday. Jon Rahm is level with him on 14 under while Fleetwood is joined by Kiradech Aphibarnrat and Dean Burmester on 13 under. Tyrrell Hatton is in the group three back on 12 under.
Unfortunately despite shooting a seven under par round on Saturday, Rose could only tie with Jon Rahm so our two ball bet lost but that can all be forgotten if the 150/1 shot Frittelli lands the goods.
Sunday Betting
As you would expect the only major market to go at on Sunday is now the outright one which in truth I’ve got covered with the punt on Frittelli. It remains to be seen whether he can chase down Rose and hold off a significantly strong chasing pack but I’m not going to go back into it. I’m hoping he can deliver something from the course of the leaderboard even if I have to settle for a place. Once again it is the two balls for me for a bet.

Sunday 2 balls
Frittelli will actually be out in the final group of the day alongside the current leader Rose. They tee off at 8.05am and are sure to carry quite a gallery around with them. Big hitting Dean Burmester and Jon Rahm are out before them and there will be plenty of fireworks in that group that is for sure. I’m going with the third last group out for a Sunday punt however.
Kiradech Aphibarnrat vs Tommy Fleetwood
Match tees off at 07.45 GMT
Two men who tee off two shots behind Justin Rose go out in the third to last group of the day when Kiradech Aphibarnrat goes out with the Race to Dubai chasing Tommy Fleetwood in an interesting two ball.
If it wasn’t for a very poor opening round then Fleetwood may well be leading this tournament. He would certainly be ahead of Aphibarnrat and yet he is only 5/6 to beat him on Sunday. Fleetwood is going to have to put the medal to the floor right away on Sunday and he’s going to have to keep it there if he is to reel Rose in.
Aphibarnrat will probably look to plot his way around a little more to begin with and hope that those in front of him fail. The Thai is a class act but his tee to green stats don’t match Fleetwood’s this week. In a high pressure final round that could prove to be the difference so I expect Fleetwood to win this pairing.
