If you had Russell Knox in your Fantasy team over the likes of Justin Rose, Andy Sullivan and Danny Willett, congratulations (although we might not believe you) !
There was nothing to suggest that the Scot would be a strong best for the title at the WGC-HSBC Champions in China.
However, he came out on top in impressive fashion, finishing two shots clear of Kevin Kisner.
Danny Willett and Ross Fisher were T3, with Rory McIlroy six shots back in joint eleventh place. Matt Fitzpatrick continued his impressive form by finishing T7, with Haotong Li proving to be one of the surprise packages of the weekend as he finished T7 with Fitzpatrick, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed.
