Fleetwood, Henley Share Tour Championship lead in a tight race for a price of $ 10 m
Tommy Fleetwood is once again making headlines with an impressive performance at the Tour Championship, where he shares the lead with Russell Henley after shooting a seven-under 63 in the second round. The stakes are high, with a $10 million prize on the line.
Fleetwood, known for his resilience in the face of adversity, is still seeking his first PGA Tour victory to add to his impressive European tour titles. Despite coming close several times this year, he remains optimistic about his chances.
“I feel like I’ve played well when I’ve been in contention,” Fleetwood said. “It’s just a matter of closing it out. The winners are the ones who can handle the pressure the best, and that’s where I want to be.”
Russell Henley, who finished strong with a Birdie-Birdie finish for a 66, is tied with Fleetwood at the top of the leaderboard. The soft greens and preferred lies have led to low scores, setting the stage for an exciting weekend of golf.
Other contenders include Cameron Young, who shot a 62 to stay within striking distance, and Patrick Cantlay, the 2021 FedEx Cup champion, who made a late surge with a Birdie-Birdie-Eagle finish.
With 13 players within reach at seven-under or lower, the competition is fierce. Fleetwood remains focused on his game plan and is determined to finally secure his first PGA Tour victory.
“I know the scoring will be low this weekend, but the course is not easy,” Fleetwood said. “I just have to stay focused, keep hitting good shots, and hopefully everything will fall into place. I’m excited for the challenge ahead.”
As the tournament heats up, all eyes will be on Fleetwood as he looks to make his mark and claim the coveted FedEx Cup and Tour Championship trophies. Stay tuned for more updates as the action unfolds on the golf course.
