Tommy Fleetwood wins Tour Championship for 1st PGA victory and $10M prize at East Lake
34-year-old golfer finished 18-under, ending years of heartbreak to claim first Tour victory

Tommy Fleetwood had a 54-hole lead three times this season, but wasn’t able to seal his first PGA Tour victory.

That all changed on Sunday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta as Fleetwood tapped home a par putt on the 18th green to win the Tour Championship at 18-under for the tournament.

Fleetwood is one of the best golfers in the world, but he’s had trouble all these years getting that final round to go his way. But all that drama, all that heartache, led to this moment where he could let out a roar after winning the Tour Championship — and $10 million in the process.

Patrick Cantlay, who was playing in the final pairing with Fleetwood throughout the day, was unable to get up and down from just off the 18th green and settled for solo second place. He and Russell Henley finished the tournament at 15-under.

So happy for him...*always the bridesmaid never the bride* curse is finally over.

I was pulling for him.  Any golfer who can interact with kids after sending a drive into the water and double bogeying the hole is alright in my book.

We were switching back and forth from this tournament to the LPGA, the storyline of which was Brooke Henderson winning in her native Canada after going mano a mano with Minjee Lee. Good day for us golf nuts!

That puts him at almost $19mm for the year not counting endorsements. And that's just in the USA.

He's always good with the kids and the media. It's hard not to like the guy.
