"ATLANTA Tommy Fleetwood of England ended a summer of heartache with the richest prize on the PGA Tour, winning the Tour Championship on Sunday for his first tour title to capture the FedEx Cup and its $10 million reward. Fleetwood got plenty of help at the start when Patrick Cantlay began bogey-double bogey and could never catch up. Scottie Scheffler hit his opening tee shot out-of-bounds and still was a threat until a tee shot into the water ended his hopes on the 15th."
"Through it all, Fleetwood held his nerve. He closed with a 2-under 68 for a three-shot victory over Cantlay (71) and Russell Henley (69). I've been a PGA Tour winner for a long time, it's just always been in my mind, Fleetwood said. A lot of close calls, but I've always enjoyed the challenge. His first PGA Tour victory came with two trophies the FedEx Cup and the Calamity Jane replica putter for the Tour Championship."
