ATLANTA – Tommy Fleetwood’s late collapse earlier this month at the FedEx St. Jude Championship resonated across the golf world as he attempted to win his first PGA Tour event in his 162 nd start.
The Englishman failed to birdie the par-5 16 th hole after a poor chip and bogeyed the 17 th to finish tied for third at TPC Southwind, a shot outside a playoff that was won by Justin Rose. Fleetwood followed his near miss in Memphis with a tie for fourth place last week at the BMW Championship – which he said felt like a better result than his showing at the first playoff stop.
Given his form, Fleetwood is among the week’s favorites at East Lake which sets up an interesting scenario where he could claim his long-awaited first Tour title and the FedExCup.
