Tommy Fleetwood once again came close but fell short of his first PGA Tour victory at the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship. The English golfer had an advantage before the last round, but in the end he fell short of the victory, finishing as T3, together with Scottie Scheffler.
This tournament brought a tense and exciting finish, with Justin Rose, celebrating a playoff victory over J.J. Spaun.
This was Fleetwood's 43rd top-10 finish without a win, the most among active players.
Speaking to the media, Fleetwood shared his optimism about the future, especially praising fans who emphasize how great Fleetwood's positivity is.
Tommy enjoyed the atmosphere of this tournament.
"Well, as long as they stay with me and stay on my side, then we can all look for the positives. Yeah, I'm lucky with the support that I get, and I have enjoyed — I haven't been in contention much this year, and then Travelers obviously leading and I felt like it was a great atmosphere and I enjoyed playing in that atmosphere and then today again I get the crowd on my side and I love their support. I'm so appreciative of it. Kind of on this journey together here.
You just have to keep — all these experiences and these close calls, like I say, there's no point in making or allowing them to have a negative effect on what happens next. What would be the point?"- he said.
Tommy Fleetwood looked up to Justin Rose
Fleetwood admitted that as a boy he looked up to Justin Rose, the winner of this tournament. Tommy is most impressed with Rose's dedication and passion for golf.
Fleetwood has nothing against his victory; even put on; he enjoys because he lives in the era of Justin Rose, a golfer who shows that age is no barrier if you are hungry and eager to succeed.
