Watch Matthew Fitzpatrick's clutch up and down to win in Dubai
Matthew Fitzpatrick was the youngest player in the top 10 at the Masters in April. He was the youngest competitor at the Ryder Cup in September. And now he's the youngest winner ever of the European Tour's season finale.

Fitzpatrick, who turned 22 on Sept. 1, is 490 days younger than Rory McIlroy was when he won this event in 2009. Seriously, look how young the 2013 U.S. Amateur champ looks posing with tournament volunteers after his third career European Tour title:
