Tour Championship: Tearful Tommy Fleetwood lets it all out after claiming first PGA Tour win

An emotional Tommy Fleetwood was reduced to tears after he claimed his first win in America at the PGA Tour's season finale. 

Fleetwood endured two painful near-misses this season at the Travelers Championship and FedEx St. Jude Championship. 

The defeats led to accusations that the 34-year-old Englishman was always going to be the nearly man in the United States. 

But he held his nerve on Sunday at the Tour Championship, holding off challenges from Patrick Cantlay and Russell Henley. 

It represents his first PGA Tour title at the 164th time of asking.

Fleetwood finished on a 72-hole total of 18-under, three clear of Cantlay and Henley. 

World number one Scottie Scheffler and US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley also finished inside the top 10. 

Emotion poured out of the European Ryder Cup star as he tapped in for par at the par-five 18th to chants of 'Tommy, Tommy, Tommy!'

He admitted that he did not feel like his three-shot lead down the last was substantial, given what happened in Memphis and Connecticut.

"I said this last month or so when I've been in contention, it's been amazing, and to get the support like that is just so special, and I never want to lose that," he said. 

"I hope everybody knows how grateful I am for it, and I said we'll do it together, and I felt like we did today. 

"So I'm really grateful for everybody that supported me and supported me through this."

Fleetwood also won the $10m top prize and was crowned the 2025 FedEx Cup champion. 

Victory will also boost Team Europe's hopes ahead of the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
