Golf, Tommy Fleetwood wins the Fedexcup

Finally he made it. Tommy Fleetwood can smile because he won his first tournament in America, after many disappointments, many hits shaded in the latest holes. But the long wait makes this moment even sweeter, also because the triumph arrives in a special tournament, the final of the season, the Championship tour, which has assigned the Fedexcup and a ten million dollar check. Tommy has passed Patrick Cantlay and Russel Henley with a last round in 68 shots for a total of -18, three blows better than the two American rivals. Fleetwood was the player with more top 5 (30, with 6 second places) without ever having won, but on the East Lake field in Atlanta he canceled this bad and not very envied record.

also Lebron for Tommy

Fleetwood, 34, has been one of the big names of world golf for many seasons, but has certainly collected much less than what his talent would have deserved. An Olympic silver in Paris 2024, seven successes on the Dpworld Tour, Zero – until Sunday – on the PGA Tour and no major. Much loved by the fans, this time too he received the support of the people along the way and home. Even Lebron James wrote on X at the beginning of the fourth round: “Finally this seems to be Tommy’s day”. To then send him his congratulations once the trophy was firmly in his hands. For Tommy a message also by Tiger Woods: “Your path is a memory that hard work and the heart always pay. Nobody deserves it more than you”. Even in the difficulties Fleetwood has never lost confidence: “I always believed it, and there has never been a day when I didn’t want to play golf. In my mind I always knew I was a winner. And now I am so happy to have shown him”.
