Lowry holed a six-footer to salvage a bogey at the first and posted back-to-back birdies from the third, before picking up another shot on the par-five seventh to go six clear.
Three bogeys in a four-hole stretch around the turn briefly reduced his lead to four when playing partner Fleetwood birdied the par-five 12th, before Lowry cancelled out a bogey at the 14th with a birdie at the next to give himself a commanding cushion over the closing stretch.
With record crowds cheering him on, Lowry then parred the last three holes - tapping in from close-range at the last - to be crowned Champion Golfer of the Year.
