Tommy Fleetwood

McIlroy’s old Ryder Cup Tommy Fleetwood scored a historic and emotional victory in the Masters in April when Rory McIlroy scored a historic and emotional victory in the Masters in April. The British took action on the TV in the Augusta National Grill Interior, and every loose tin smiled and smiled. When McIlroy reached a deal and scored from 18th Green, Fleetwood was a group of people with a friendly desire waiting for the clubhouse to embrace McIlroy.

Fleetwood, 34, is better than McIlroy’s underperforming 16-16 wins in the Masters. That’s because he’s been trying to steal his indifference: not only in the Masters, but more widely on the PGA Tour, and by early April, Fleetwood had 152 victories in 152 games. Fleetwood’s unwind run has stretched to 159 years in the weeks since the Masters, although not because of a lack of effort. Since the start of his first PGA Tour, Fleetwood has won 42 top ten in the 2013 World Golf Championship, including six runner-ups. In the modern era of the Tour, without a top ten winning spot, Fleetwood kept a huge contribution (the next list is Brett Quigley, 34).

So, on Sunday, when Fleetwood entered the final round of the Travelers Championship with a three-stroke lead – behind 63 rounds of the third round – he knew that the danger was more than just a $3.6 million championship check and a wheelbarrow full of FedEx Cup points. Fleetwood is expelling close call and bee bones for more than a decade.

His round started with three bogeys and a birdie in his first four holes, which gave Keegan Bradley a lead in Fleetwood along with Russell Henley. But when Fleetwood ended his first nine with five straight pars, then Birds 11 and 13, he grabbed the momentum and led (two). “I don’t think I’m having a bad game,” Fleetwood said after the round. “I feel like I’ve played a lot of shots. I really feel like starting with 7 shots – 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11, 12, 13, 14 – I’m very controlling and doing well.”

even though sound Like Bradley’s. The Connecticut galleries have been working for Bradley, their New Englander and American Ryder Cup captain Bradley throughout the week, and their support will only increase.

However, in the 15-15 short club, Tee’s shooting cost lost Fleetwood’s chances on Birdie. On the 16th hole of the 3rd, he missed a long time and paid the price with bogey. After par on 17, Fleetwood reached the 72nd hole, leading only one on Bradley and two on Henley. After a great driving by Fleetwood and Bradley, the two players were left with short irons. Fleetwood has been ranked No. 1 since the age of 148. He chose the 9-iron and then switched it to a wedge the moment before the hit, which turned out to be a tactical mistake. His ball is short and settles on the front edge 50 feet from the hole.

Bradley next hit one of his career: a wedge to 6 feet, making thousands of fans ring green.

Fleetwood’s birdie tried to pull up at its worst, about a foot outside Bradley’s mark, meaning Fleetwood would get his opponent to read. Fleetwood started his par attempt at the left edge of the hole. About halfway through the Cup, it looked like it was tracking until his ball hit something that seemed to be a spike mark or some other inconsistency in the green. The putter turned right and missed the hole. avoid.

Bradley’s birdie attempts that started on a similar line to Fleetwood look good. That’s it. The center of the cup. Little bird. TPC Highlands erupt. The same goes for Bradley. It’s not a Ryder Cup game, but it certainly feels like a game.

Fleetwood didn’t have to talk about the press after his round, but he did. Honest, honest, wearing eye-catching glaze. He told CBS he felt “in a dilemma” and then said in a longer meeting with reporters that his three shots were a “bad way to end” and that he was “frustrated” and “angry.”

“I’d love to be angry somewhere, maybe I’ll do it,” he said. “But there’s no point, it really makes it negatively impact the future, just take a positive attitude and keep moving forward.

“I did a lot of things this week to win, and I didn’t do that, and it hurts. [But] When it calms down, the stupidest thing to do and worse is making such a week in the way you do. I obviously played great and I put myself in a good position, I led the 71 holes of the game. I just want to make sure I can put myself in this position as soon as possible and try to correct what I did this time.

According to Fleetwood’s schedule on his website, his next start is the Genesis Scottish Open from July 9-13, a week later at the Open Championship at Royal Shotrus.

“The search continues,” he said Sunday night. “When it happens, it will be very, very sweet.”
