Tommy Fleetwood is a familiar story hopeful of a different ending, posting eight birdies in his round of 7-under 63 to share the lead Friday at the Tour Championship with Russell Henley in what was shaping up as a tight race for the $10 million prize.
Fleetwood, increasingly popular for his grace in handling so many tough losses, is searching for his first PGA Tour win to go along with a collection of strong European Tour titles. But he has been down this road before, quite often this year. The questions are getting old.
Maybe it ends with the Englishman winning two trophies for his first win — the FedEx Cup and the “Calamity Jane” replica putter that serves as the Tour Championship trophy.
