After the agony the cheers on the 18th hole on the East Lake. Tommy Fleetwood finally had his moment, relief and joy about completing the job. A PGA Tour winner at the tour championship and thus also the Fedex Cup.
Fleetwood has accumulated a legion of fans in recent years. He had repeated that his breakthrough on the US floor would be achieved “together”. And the following has become even stronger after the heartbreaking flour this year, including an output of “anger” among travelers, as a rough amount of Captain America, Keegan Bradley.

And then again at the Fedex St. Jude Championship when he wasted a two-shot lead with three remaining holes. One of Luke Donald’s Ryder Cup Stalwarts could only watch JJ Spaun and an inspired Justin Rose duel in a playoff after his game was covered. The later victory of his compatriot and his friend was only a slight consolation when his drought stretched.
But regardless of the disappointing squeezing, the availability and attitude of Fleetwood prevailed, as several players at the top of the game, including Rory Mcilroy and Collin Morikawa, the media tasks came into the media this year.
“All of these experiences and these close calls, it makes no sense to make it negative of what happens next,” said Fleetwood in the early this month. “What would be the point?”
“So I am also disappointed, I have to try to find the strength to have all positive experience, and hopefully you will go again next time.”

And go once again, this time he closed the deal with Aplobom to become one of the most popular winners for years, and opposed Patrick Cantlay’s indictment, which could prove to be an important mental lead for one of the few Americans who are able to raise their game at the highest height heights.
Social media was flooded with fans on Sunday evening, which indulged in the breakthrough of Fleetwood, including the NBA superstar LeBron James, which was recently presented in Golf.
However, a remarkable moment projected and recalled a rare quality that was so popular in the Ryder Cup: unity. It was promoted by Team Europe over generations and burned brighter in Rome two years ago.

Greenside was rose, hidden in the group of supporters who indulge in Fleetwood’s moment. A man whose own success accidentally denied this precious breakthrough in Memphis. Rose filmed Fleetwood on his cell phone and grinned from ear to ear. Shane Lowry also showed that Bond Donald used so professionally.

“It felt as good as winning,” Rose announced. “I am happy about my husband to endure the relentless pressure cooker.

It is only 33 days before Europe dares to the bearpit, which will be Bethpage Black, and tries to achieve an away win that Rory McIlroy claims, is “probably one of the greatest achievements in the Golf at the moment”.
Justin Thomas belonged to Johnson’s team among Captain Zach Johnson’s team to quickly reject the effects of solidarity in the group two years ago at Marco Simone.
“The loss we had this week has absolutely nothing to do with team comradeship, as this is probably the closest team that I have ever been on,” said world No. 5 at that time.
But the unshakable support and selflessness in a largely individual sport helps the Europeans to often increase their levels beyond their week to week. Your teammates will pick you up when you are neglected and celebrate you, regardless of your own achievements, when you triumph. Donald hopes that it will make a difference again.
