Heading into the BMW PGA Championship in his home country, the English golfer talked about the Olympics and playing in the United States.
The season might be over on the PGA Tour, but there are still some important events in Europe, beginning with this week’s BMW PGA Championship at the Wentworth Club in Surrey, England.
Among those participating will be England’s Tommy Fleetwood, 33, who won the silver medal at the Summer Olympics in Paris and finished 20th in the Tour Championship in Atlanta earlier this month. Yet for all his accomplishments, Fleetwood, ranked No. 12 in the world with seven career wins on the DP World Tour, is still searching for his first victory in the United States.
Fleetwood, who finished in sixth place last year at Wentworth, spoke recently about the Olympics and his quest to finally break through in the United States.
The conversation has been condensed and edited.
Were you satisfied with this season on the PGA Tour?
I feel good about a lot of things about the year. Whenever you make it to the Tour Championship, it’s always a success. Having said that, I wish I had contended in more tournaments.
What do you need to do to go to the next level?
Honestly, it’s all been very, very close. It’s easy when you get to this point to think “OK, I’m going to look for a magic answer or rebuild things.” I think I can continue to do the majority of the same things and build on the consistency I’ve had and tweak a couple of small areas.
