Tommy Fleetwood shared his disappointment with reporters following his second-place finish at the Travelers Championship on Sunday. He expressed his emotions by stating, “I’m upset now” and “I’m angry.”

Fleetwood appeared to be on his way to finally capturing a victory after 41 top-10 finishes with a two-shot lead heading into the final three holes of the final day of the tournament at TPC River Highlands.

But with his lead down to one shot on the final hole, he missed a six-foot putt and had to bogey on 18 and then watched as Keegan Bradley buried his putt for the win. 

“I haven’t been in this situation for a while,” Fleetwood said. “I think when it sort of calms down — I’m upset now, I’m angry — when it calms down, look at the things that I did well, look at the things that I can learn from. 

“I said yesterday I haven’t been in this position all year, so it’s been a while, felt like I did a lot of good things, but there was things that I definitely can do better, and I have to do better. So I did plenty of things well enough this week to win, I didn’t do that, it hurts.”

Fleetwood tried to keep a level head about what transpired throughout the four-day tournament taking place in Cromwell, Connecticut, but how upset he was remained easy to see. 

“When it calms down, the most stupid thing to do and the worse thing to do would be make a week like this a hindrance to what you do going forwards,” he said. “I obviously played great, I put myself in a great position, I was leading the tournament for 71 holes. I just want to make sure that I can put myself in this position as soon as possible again and try and correct what I did this time. 

“But like I say, right now I would love to, you know, just go and sulk somewhere and maybe I will do, but there’s just no point making it a negative for the future really, just take the positives and move on.”
