Standing at 15. Honor, with 200 long yards of water in front of him and Patrick Cantlai three moves behind him, Fleetwood faced the most interesting hole of his professional life. On Saturday, he knocked this shot in the water, and the other water could break it. But on Sunday, the ball held the slash green and even with God, Fleetwood could exhale.

The second Georgia tournament keeps a concept request that fireworks do not start to back nine on Sunday, but on August on August on Sunday afternoon. In the conversation: Fleetwood, which is known, never won the PGA touring event; Russell Henley, a sub-radar local bar who play some of the best golf in tour this year; Patrick Cantlai, however technically on the outside looking at the Rider Cup team; Keegan Bradley, faced the most significant decision of any Captain Rider Cup faced decades; A Scottie Scheffler, world no. SCORS. Too shortly they look fatal.

This was marked for the first time in recent memory that touring championship has inserted its adjustment and teaks, which means that any of the best 30 players in the field could request a $ 10 million in the first place in the field. There are no more starting blows, no more points of points – just win, honey. It is not very fair to Scheffer, who was the dominant overall season, but then NFL teams do not get head in Super Bowl, and NBA teams do not get lead for one game in the final.

This meant that each player had the opportunity, and the very most striking story – and the one who put out fans of Fame Twitter as Caitlin Clark and Lebron James – belonged to Fleetwood, a 34-year-old from England. For most of his careers, Fleetwood held a representative office of Ambieble, talented boy, always in a mixture, but never in the money. Since 2017, he recorded the Vrh-5 ends in all four majorists, seven in all. Outside known by unknown states, his most significant achievements arrived at Rider Cup, where he and Francesco Molinars were unstoppable Duo 2018. years, and where he reached the decisive point 2023. years.

He recently suffered the heart in the Fedex St. Jude Championship and passenger championship, holding leadership deep on Sunday before he surrendered Justin Rose and Bradley. When he arrived on Sunday, nine with three shots leadership, so Fleetwood once again officially entered the heart-triumph territory.

But things immediately turned Grimm for Fleetwood, because Cantlay pulled the move with two shots, bird 10. While Fleetood was shivering. So, Fleetwood’s third lead was down to one with eight long holes to go.

Fear Scheffer, who tries to become the first winner in return backwards with two fleeting blows with a birdus 14. … but he immediately pushed his tea in the water into the water. It led to double densities and kicked it out of the overtaking. Bradley went that he, and he, and he found in the water in 15. Henley could never collect much, Cantlai supported every bird with madness, leaving it fleetwood against him.

After that, for 10 years, he birded 12. and 13. To extend the leadway to three moves with four to play, providing little comfort as they ran in 15. place. He took the fools there, and then he was just supposed to hold the wheels over the final three holes to collect the greatest salary of his career. Three pairs later, the victory was his – first in her 164. year begins in the Career of the PGA tour.

The PGA tour is now ready, bringing to close exceptional tournaments and winners who helped tour their grades and competition feet after several years of fighting. Still ahead: Rider Cup, where Fleetwood, Scheffer will, and another 22 of their teammates will be fighting in Bethpage Black.
