Brazel got his round started off the right way by finding par over each of the first five holes. But he ran into trouble on the par-four sixth. Things got worse when the bogey was repeated at the par-four ninth.
Brazel needed to rally when he began life on the back nine. He promptly turned things around superbly with a run of three straight birdies, beginning on the par-four 11th.
The European Tour relayed Brazel closing out the run at the par-five 13th:
Knowing he still needed a strong finish, Brazel got it in splendid fashion when he holed another birdie, this one at the tricky 18th:
Brazel had set a pace others would find tough to follow. Cabrera Bello didn't exactly help his cause with some disastrous play toward the end of the front nine.
The Spaniard followed a bogey on the par-four seventh with a double bogey at the par-three eighth. A birdie from the first hole on the back nine got things back on track, but a run of par over the next five wasn't enough.
Cabrera Bello needed a spark and duly found one when he sank consecutive birdies with the leadership of the tournament on the line. First, the Spaniard conquered the par-four 16th with a shot to spare:
Then he did the same at the 17th:
However, another par finish ultimately kept Cabrera Bello one shot off the winner.
Cabrera Bello had come close, but it was Fleetwood who would truly rue missed opportunities late on. Specifically, the Englishman couldn't complete a birdie putt at the 18th.
In fact, Fleetwood was just a whisker away from sinking the putt that would have given him a tie for first on the leaderboard:
Ultimately, the tournament belonged to Brazel because of the way he attacked the final two rounds. The Australian saved his best golf for the days that mattered, while Cabrera Bello and Fleetwood couldn't maintain their forms when the pressure was on.
