Tommy Fleetwood says there’s “no point” in letting his latest PGA Tour heartbreak negatively impact him after narrowly missing out on the FedEx St Jude Championship.
Fleetwood’s wait for a maiden PGA Tour title continues, having entered the final round in the lead and had a two-shot lead with three holes remaining, a par-bogey-par finish saw him overtaken by eventual champion Justin Rose and JJ Spaun.
At the Travelers Championship in June, Fleetwood led into the final hole but a bogey allowed American Keegan Bradley to snatch the title.
The 34-year-old has the highest PGA Tour earnings without a victory and has six top-five finishes this season.
“All these experiences and these close calls, there’s no point in making or allowing them to have a negative effect on what happens next. What would be the point?” said Fleetwood.
“It was a great week. I did a ton of good stuff, and as disappointed as I am, I have to try to find the strength to make it all a positive experience and hopefully next time go again, put myself in that position again and we just go again.”
Fleetwood will have another opportunity to end his wait for PGA glory at the BMW Championship in Maryland, where the top 50 in the FedExCup standings are in action live on Sky Sports Golf from Thursday.
The top 30 in the standings after this week’s tournament will qualify for the Tour Championship, taking place from August 21-24 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

Asked what positives he’s drawing on and how the fans motivate him, Fleetwood said: “As long as they stay with me and stay on my side, then we can all look for the positives.
“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, again here 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.”
