This rise came after his victory at the Tour Championship, a tournament that closed the PGA American circuit season, held in Atlanta, Georgia.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>&#8220;It was about time,&#8221; Fleetwood expressed at the end of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Tommy Fleetwood<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nFleetwood, who pocketed a $10 million prize for his triumph, ended a streak of 163 tournaments on the PGA Tour without a win. Despite having 30 top-five finishes and several second places, the victory at the Tour Championship marked a turning point in his career.\n\nA final round of 68 strokes allowed Fleetwood to finish with a total of 262, surpassing Americans Russell Henley and Patrick Cantlay by three strokes. Previously, he had already accumulated eight victories on the DP World Tour and was a prominent member of the European Ryder Cup team, but he lacked this recognition in the United States.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had to be resilient in terms of getting back out there, getting back into that position, no matter how many times it doesn\u2019t go the way I want, no matter how many doubts may arise. Like any normal person, I get disappointed, I get sad, I get angry. But at the same time\u2026 I think I\u2019m aware that there\u2019s no point in turning things into a negative experience. You just have to learn from everything and try to do your best,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Tommy Fleetwood<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThis victory propelled Fleetwood from tenth place, bringing him closer to the world&#8217;s top 5 with an average of 5.67 points. The ranking is led by American Scottie Scheffler (21.19), followed by Rory McIlroy (11.14), Xander Schauffele (6.69), Russell Henley (6.14), and Justin Thomas (5.84).\n\nIn contrast, the Spanish Jon Rahm, who competes on the LIV circuit, has experienced a drop in the ranking, placing at number 79. His team, Legion XIII, won the team title this Sunday in Michigan.\n\nWith the Ryder Cup on the horizon, which will be played in September at the Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York, Fleetwood has already secured his place on the European team. Alongside him are Justin Rose, Tyrrel Hatton, Rory McIlroy, and Rasmus Hojgaard.\n\nNow, captain Luke Donald will have to choose six additional players to complete the European team, with Rahm as one of the possible selections.\n\nThe American team already has Scheffler, Schauffele, JJ Spaun, Russell Henley, Harris English, and Bryson DeChambeau. Captain Keegan Bradley will make important decisions, with the support of his vice-captains Jim Furyk, Kevin Kisner, Webb Simpson, Brandt Snedeker, and Gary Woodland.\n\nAmong the candidates for the American team are Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Sam Burns, Bradley himself and Patrick Cantlay, as well as potential debutants such as Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Chris Gotterup and Maverick McNealy.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tommy Fleetwood Conquers PGA and Rises in World Golf Ranking English golfer Tommy Fleetwood has achieved a significant milestone in his career, climbing to sixth position in the world ranking.
