@Source: dailyrecord.co.uk
Outstanding Tommy Fleetwood stands on the brink of ending his PGA Tour drought by winning at the Travelers Championship. But the Englishman’s outstanding career figures behind the Connecticut charge mean he’s amongst the golfing elite win or lose on Sunday evening. Aged just 34, Fleetwood has made 158 career PGA Tour starts since he started out and made his professional debut at the 2010 Czech Open on the DP World Tour. During that period, the Southport star has notched a highest-ever figure of 41 Top-10 finishes, which is the biggest of any player without a PGA Tour in the modern era since 1983 and seven more than the next name on the list, Brett Quigley, Away from the States, Fleetwood has amassed seven victories on the DP World Tour with his first coming in 2013 when he defeated Stephen Gallacher and Ricardo Gonzalez in a play-off at the 2013 Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles. Since then, he has won the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in 2017 and 2018, the French Open in 2017, the Nedbank Challenge in in 2019 and 2022 and the Dubai Invitational last year. Fleetwood has also represented Europe three times in the Ryder Cup matches against the United States and won on two of those occasions. In 2018 in Paris, his partnership with Francesco Molinari was key to the success of Thomas Bjorn’s side and, as well as teaming-up with Rory McIlroy for points in Rome in 2023, he had the honour of securing the winning point in the Singles against Rickie Fowler at Marco Simeone Golf Club. Fleetwood also has the distinction of positing a top-five finish in each of the game’s four Major championships and came runner-up to Brooks Koepka at the US Open in 2018 at Shinnecock Hills and also at The Open Championship the following year at Royal Portrush behind Shane Lowry. He can now add a triumph on the PGA Tour to his magnificent CV and is relishing the opportunity to take that next step. He said: “I’m on top of a lot of stat lines for people that haven’t won on the PGA Tour, so to always to be a No.1 at something is always nice!. Yeah, of course I would love to win on the PGA Tour. I think it’s like an element of your career that everybody wants and I of course want it. “It’s easy to put pressure on yourself and, the longer things go on, the more people talk about it, of course they do. "But there’s also things that I’m very proud about as well, like my consistency, where I stand [in] FedExCups and world rankings and things like that. So there’s a lot to be happy about. "But I’m not going to, be silly and say I don’t care about it. Of course I want to win and, hopefully, it will happen sooner rather than later.”
