8 d. ago Tommy Fleetwood delivers feelgood factor in ending his US drought | Sean Ingle

One of the few universally popular male sports stars, the Briton’s first win in 164 PGA Tour attempts is perhaps golf’s brightest story of 2025Some of us have always known that deep inside Tommy Fleetwood lurked a cold-blooded winner.

Englishman hits final round 68 to win by three shotsPatrick Cantley and Russell Henley tie for secondIt was not Patrick Cantlay, Russell Henley, Scottie Scheffler or any other golfer that Tommy Fleetwood had to battle with at the Tour Championship. Instead, the Englishman had to see off the burden of recent history. Fleetwood prevailed, taking his maiden PGA Tour title on his 164th start. Sometimes the good guys win. East Lake delivered one of the most heartwarming tales of the sporting year, a victory for persistence and proof that a relatable golfer can be a triumphant one.Fleetwood displayed magnificent mental strength to brush aside scar tissue caused by falling short, agonisingly so, twice since late June.
