Rai gets maiden win in Hong Kong

– England’s Aaron Rai held off a determined charge from compatriot Matthew Fitzpatrick to win the Hong Kong Open by one stroke yesterday, claiming his first win on the European Tour at a rain-sodden Fanling.

“It feels incredible,” said Rai, who lifted the trophy – previously won by golf greats Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy and Peter Thomson. “It will take a few days to sink in.” –
