Tommy Fleetwood reveals inspiration behind Travelers Championship charge as he eyes epic PGA Tour win
@Source: dailyrecord.co.uk
Driven Tommy Fleetwood admits it would be silly to think he’s not bursting to break his PGA Tour duck. The English star is on the brink of winning for the first time in the United States as he takes a three-shot lead into the final round of the Travelers Championship. Fleetwood has seven triumphs on the DP World Tour, has won Ryder Cups and has the highest number of Top 10 finishes without winning, but is widely-recognised as the best current player never to have triumphed on the circuit. However, the 34-year-old is in prime position at TPC River Highlands and 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. It’s like an element of your career that everybody wants and I of course want it. This year, especially, this is like my first real chance, so I’m really excited about that and looking forward to 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 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.” Fleetwood is deeply respected amongst the game’s elite and the feeling is mutual as he takes inspired education on board from the likes of Ryder Cup partner Rory McIlroy and World No.1 Scottie Scheffler. He explained: “No doubt everybody mentions Scottie when he’s on the leaderboards. He’s definitely earned that. He’s been there a lot, he’s won a lot and, over the last two, three years, he has definitely been that player that has found that way to win. But all you can do is focus on yourself. “He’s a great person to aspire to in terms of his game, the level that he’s played at. I look at what the best players are doing and basically try and copy it. How they practice, how they play, how they manage their selves around the golf course. "So I think it’s great having the likes of Scottie and Rory who are having such amazing careers as we are playing to look up to and learn from. “But when you’re out there playing you just, it’s all about you and focusing on your game. Because I think there’s times when you’ll finish, aside from winning, winning is obviously the ultimate satisfaction, but there’s times when you’ll finish second and be disappointed, there’s times when you’ll finish 20th and come away feeling pretty good, so it’s all about your own self satisfaction at the end of the day.” Fleetwood has wife Clare and his kids roaring him along in Connecticut and he said: “Yeah, they’re great. My biggest supporters completely. They love golf. They absolutely love it. It is always great having them out. "I’m sort of one of the guys that probably, living where I live, does the most amount of travel and probably spends the most amount of time away from my family, if you like. So I do really love the weeks when they are out here.”
