Matt Fitzpatrick has set his sights on breaking America after his fledgling career produced a memorable new high at the DP World Tour Championship.Two years to the day after gaining his European Tour card, Fitzpatrick won his third title and the first prize of more than ￡1 million ($1.2m) at Jumeirah Golf Estates.Tyrrell Hatton had looked set for his second victory in the space of seven weeks after holing a bunker shot for par on the 17th to preserve his one-shot lead in the season finale in Dubai.However, the 25-year-old then drove into the creek which runs the length of the par-five 18th and carded his only bogey of a closing 68 to open the door for Fitzpatrick in the group behind.The 22-year-old from Sheffield duly got up and down from a greenside bunker for a winning birdie to complete a 67 and then admitted he will turn his attention to competition across the pond.Id love to play on the PGA Tour eventually, said Fitzpatrick, who made his Ryder Cup debut at Hazeltine last month. I dont want to rush it. Winning this gives me a five-year exemption and that gives three at least to really push for my PGA Tour card.I wont just abandon the European Tour. It will always be the main tour I play, but three years to sort of give it a go gives me a good opportunity.Fitzpatrick also revealed he will use his newfound riches to find a home in golfs American heartland of Florida, with world No. 2 Rory McIlroy acting as his property advisor.Im going to look at places in three weeks in Florida, Fitzpatrick said. My mum and dad actually spoke to Rory this week and he said that he might give me a hand with giving me a few contacts to talk to.I think he did the same as what Im planning to do, maybe rent at the start of next year, just get a feel for the place and then maybe pick a place [to buy] then.Words cant describe it. Its not going to sink in for a while. Its been a special year and then to end it like this with a win is amazing.Its two years to the day I got my card at the qualifying school. When you think about it, its crazy. Its all happened so fast. Now I feel this win gives me the confidence to push further and further and see what we can do next season.Henrik Stensons share of ninth ensured he ended the year as European No. 1 for the second time, the Swede carding a closing 65 which was matched by playing partner and defending champion McIlroy.Stenson, who was the first man to win the Race to Dubai and FedEx Cup in the same season in 2013, said: Its been a great year, the best year of my career.Ive always thought it was going to be hard to top 2013, but I think Ive done that. Maybe not to the level of golf over six months, but certainly with the highlights of winning the Open, the Olympics [silver medal] and managing to win the Race to Dubai again. Swell Bottiglia Lento .
