Hi, Tommy. Hi. Um, can you just kind of talk through what you’re feeling right now? Uh, I I don’t know really. I um it’s uh yeah, I I don’t know yet. Um I’m obviously going to be disappointed. Uh I think there’s I said it last time, uh there’s a lot of positives to take as much as I don’t really or I won’t feel like that uh right now. Um, I’m just going to look at what I feel like I could have done and and how close it was. But, um, you know, we move on. Uh, there’s another week next week and I’ve just got to uh look at reflect on today and obviously keep pushing forward and try and put myself in that position again. You mentioned um taking positives away from today and your optimism is something that fans really continue to admire truly. Um, where does where do you draw that from and how does it continue to drive you? Uh well, as long as they uh stay with me and stay on my side, then we can all uh we can all look for the positives. Um yeah, I’m lucky with the support that I get and I I have enjoyed, you know, I wasn’t I haven’t been in contention much this year and then Travelers obviously leading and I felt like it was a great atmosphere and and I enjoy playing in that atmosphere and then today again, you know, I get get the crowd on my side and I, you know, I I love their support and I’m so appreciative of it and um kind of, you know, on this journey together here. Um uh yeah I yeah you just have to keep all these experiences you know on these close calls like I say there’s there’s no point in making them or or or allowing them to have a negative effect on what happens next. I mean what will be the point? It was it was a great week. I did a ton of good stuff and as disappointed as I am, um I have to find, you know, the the strength to make it all a positive experience and and hopefully next time, you know, go again, put myself in that position again and we just go again. You talked about uh growing up looking up to Justin. Can you just talk about that finish for him and how impressive it was and what he’s doing at age 45 that he keeps going? Yeah, he’s great, isn’t he? I I love I love his dedication. I really do. Um I’ve always, you know, loved how he’s gone about the game. I’m admirer of his career and um I just happen to be very close to him. So I’m lucky that I get to spend um a lot of time with him and and yeah, at 45 he’s not he’s not slowing down at all. Uh he’s uh he’s cracking on, you know, he’s he’s still very fit, very healthy, very motivated, and I think um I think yeah, he’s a great um he’s a great person and golfer to look up to. Thank you. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Thank you, Tommy.

Feeling your pain Tommy…Brilliant effort! Keep fighting…Great support from OZ
Tommy will be kicking that door in soon.
love him and guttered for him yet again and again
Choked again. 2 stroke lead with 3 to go and a par 5 approach. No balls
He has a great attitude. He may not have won the trophy, but he is winning fans and still collecting decent prize money. The trophies will come ..
Some of the buffoons here have never played competitive golf
2 seconds no the PGA tour in a couple of weeks is actually amazing.
Burnt out rooting for Tommy, dont think he will ever get it done.
Great bloke, a lesson for all the whinning loosers, especially tennis players.
You will win Tommy! It’s only a matter of time! Keep up the good golf!!
A class act. Disappointed he may be but still found time to talk to the media.
nicest guy in golf
Feel so so sorry for Tommy he comes so near and yet so far just seems to fall apart in the last 3 holes every time he gets to that position, come on Tommy get some psychological help because your Golf is fine its something a bit deeper than just hitting the ball right.
He tightens up when he has the lead at the end. Does it every time. You can’t second-guess your club selection you have to be confident. You have to be a killer when you play against Scheffler. You don’t get many opportunities to beat that guy
Class act
I was hoping he would win so badly. ❤
How do I feel??? Let's see. I finished third,and made 1.1 million. I'm about to cry.😂😂😂
Fleetwood is a good guy. He deserves a win.
Hard to be angry enough to break things when you have a relatively healthy family at an event with St. Jude on the banner.
I really like Tommy, he's a good guy. It's going to get harder to get over the line to win a PGA tour event, but he will do it.
“FIRST CLASS-PERIOD “
Love Tommy. His time will come.. He’s still top 15 in the world. Not bad for a supposed “choker”
I'm sure Tommy would disagree, but I think maybe it's time to change something up, namely a new caddie. He just hasn't looked positive and committed when he's in contention.
Love Tommy's attitude but. He basically chokes toward the end of Sunday's round when he has a chance to win. Look at the Travelers it took 3 putts to get up and down on 18 and he lost. On 16 Sunday he takes 3 to get up and down on the par 5 after a lousy pitch. On 17 he takes 3 to get up and down after a lousy chip. And those short two lousy short game shots cost him the tournament. Your nervousness is exposed around the green! You have to have ice in your veins like Rose, not jelly. Tommy says all the right things, he just doesn't do all the right things!
LIke this bloke.
Class act
Another Sunday gag😂
