Fleetwood hits chip shot on Hole 11

Atlanta had a chance to cut Los Angeles’ lead to just one point on Hole 11, but Fleetwood refused to let that happen. Cantlay nearly sank a shot from 43 yards out, leaving his team just 2 feet from the hole. But that shot wasn’t good enough, as Fleetwood followed up by draining a chip shot from just over 18 feet out to keep the score at 5-2.
