After 164 starts, Tommy Fleetwood is officially a PGA Tour winner and secures the FedEx Cup Championship on Sunday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
The 34-year-old golfer finally saw the glory. He has come so close this season in many tournaments. It is one of the best storylines of golf this season. Fleetwood finished 18 under. The many years of heartbreak have been healed.
Fleetwood’s scores by each round are: 64-63-67-68. With this win, Fleetwood earned a $10 million prize.
Patrick Cantley, who was the most formidable competitor for Fleetwood on Sunday, came close to capturing the title, but couldn’t get it done off the 18th green. Cantley finished the day in second place. Russell Henley finished third. Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, and Corey Conners all finished 14-under.
The crowd was extremely happy for Fleetwood. You can tell the crowd genuinely wanted Fleetwood to win this tournament. Fleetwood is a fan favorite. He has gained more fans after this victory. The fans are invested in him and have embraced him. Fleetwood has handled himself very well.
“I’m fortunate with the people I have around me,” Fleetwood said. “It was just a case of staying resilient with all the setbacks that I had. When I was out there, these were the best times of my life. It was an amazing opportunity for me again this week and today. I just had to focus on all the good things. Staying in my bubble, try to stay as present as possible. Doubts were going to creep in, thinking about the past, but that doesn’t mean that it was going to happen this time. I stayed true to my word, and I was just so proud and pleased in how I managed to play down the stretch there.”
