Tommy Fleetwood arrives at East Lake as relatable contender on verge of greatness | Golf

THe distributed the euphoria which surrounded the triumph of the masters of Rory McILroy was the best example of a time when golf observers want a player to win. After all, this is supposed to be a non-tribal environment outside the weekend every two years, when Europe faces the United States and people on each side of the strings take leave of their senses.

The next pursuit of the Saint Grail golf course belongs to Tommy Fleetwood. The defeat against force positions in the traveler and St Jude championships has launched unwanted statistics. In 163 PGA Tour departures, Fleetwood has not yet left a victory. As striking as this raw number – the talent of Fleetwood is such that it is assumed that it should have claimed a lot of trophies in the United States – is the fact that people wish to end his drought. Fleetwood is relatable, sympathetic, popular. He also has no objection to the discussion that is currently swirling around him.

“I’m not going to feed you with lies and say,” Oh, in Memphis, I thought I had done everything well, or the travelers, I did nothing wrong “,” said Fleetwood. “Of course, I was wrong on the section and that did not happen for me.

“You learn from these experiences. I would prefer that you question me not to finish the tournaments that not to question myself at all.

“I just want to get back there. I want to give myself another chance. I will finish it at some point. I’m going to do things well and I will do things well. But being there is actually the difficult part, in a way.

“I don’t feel like I have to trace all the good things. I just need to be aware of it, to know that I do the right things and I know there are still things that I can better. I use disappointments as motivation and I use good things as confidence with confidence. ”

In East Lake this week, another PGA Tour season will end. Scottie Scheffler will seek to press his domination of the game by raising the Tour championship and the Fedex Cup.

Just as fate finally smiled in Mcilroy, two hours away in April, finally he is Tommy’s time? Its reliability and its tight shaving story are highlighted by six finalists on the PGA Tour, the same number of third parties, 30 top five and 44 top 10. He is the 10th row player in the world. “The best scenario descending in the section at East Lake with a chance to win,” said Fleetwood.

“Whether I succeed or not, whether it happens or not, whether someone plays better or not, I’m going to talk about it at the time. But I would like to get there and give myself this chance again.”

The 34 -year -old man was not burned while failing. “It’s really funny, you leave the course last Sunday and I was happier with a fourth place than I was with a third in Memphis,” said Fleetwood.

“It’s a strange game in this way. I am very happy with the consistency of my golf course and the level at which I played. Golf is a crazy game. You never know what you are going to present yourself week after week, but this year was a very good year.”

Fleetwood knows how to cross the line. He has done it eight times elsewhere in the world. He succeeded when he was involved in tight remains. The nature of recent events, as opposed to fundamental results, is what has put the situation of Fleetwood. He missed a playoff series in Memphis by a shot, after leading by two with three holes to play.

In travelers, Keegan Bradley Usurpé Fleetwood after the Southport man has three hits on the 72nd hole. Fleetwood was clearly discouraged during the tasks of the post-tourroi media both, but there was no raw moment, no broken club, no fists through a window. Yes, the smile had disappeared but not long.

“I’m disappointed and getting angry,” said Fleetwood. “I launched the strange club in the water when I am there and maybe I feel a little better for a while. But I’m not very great to be angry. It doesn’t suit me. I let it go in a way. I work very hard to let things go, move on.

“But as I say, like anyone, I am disappointed, I am frustrated, I get angry. I doubt myself. Of course I am. All this is part of a professional athlete and try to continue your dreams and to accomplish great things against incredible golfers.”
