Tommy Fleetwood closes out first TOUR win at East Lake, wins FedExCup
Escrito por Staff
A winner at last. Tommy Fleetwood’s search for his first PGA TOUR win had become one of the most compelling stories going in golf, but it got its storybook ending Sunday at the TOUR Championship. Fleetwood outlasted the best of the best at East Lake Golf Club, shooting a final-round 68 to win the TOUR Championship and FedExCup by three strokes over Patrick Cantlay and Russell Henley. Scottie Scheffler finished in a tie for fourth, four strokes back. It’s Fleetwood’s first win on TOUR in 164 starts.
“I think it's easy for anybody to say that they are resilient, that they bounce back, that they have fight,” Fleetwood said. “It's different when you actually have to prove it.”
And he sure proved it. Fleetwood held the lead for much of Sunday’s final round, just as he did at the Travelers Championship and FedEx St. Jude Championship earlier this year. On both previous occasions, Fleetwood led by two strokes with three to play, only to wilt over the final holes. After both losses, he said he would learn from the heartbreak and come back stronger. This week, he did. Fleetwood again led by two strokes with three to play at East Lake, but only grew stronger, making three straight pars as other competitors blinked.
“What an amazing day,” Fleetwood said.
