Tommy Fleetwood Celebrates First PGA Tour Victory

English golfer Tommy Fleetwood finally tasted victory on the PGA Tour, a long-awaited triumph that came at the Tour Championship held at East Lake Golf Club. After 164 attempts, Fleetwood achieved his first title, surpassing his competitors with a final round of 68 strokes, two under par, for a total of 18 under par. He beat Russell Henley and Patrick Cantlay by three strokes. Before this long-awaited victory, Fleetwood had accumulated six second places and a dozen top-three finishes in various circuit tournaments. According to data, Fleetwood had 30 top-five finishes, the most for a golfer without a PGA Tour victory in the last century, and 44 top 10s, the second most in the same period.

I am proud of what I have achieved so far. This is just the beginning, hopefully the first of many victories.
