What Jordan Spieth said about Tommy Fleetwood back in 2018 after his ‘absurd’ round on the PGA Tour
Jordan Spieth was genuinely stunned by something Tommy Fleetwood did seven years ago.
Spieth has earned plenty of success since he turned pro with 13 PGA Tour wins to his name, including three major championships.
Meanwhile, Fleetwood didn’t earn his first win on the PGA Tour until his 164th start just last week.
Fleetwood put on a ball-striking clinic at the Tour Championship, and now he is expected to go on and win many more.
While Spieth has won many more tournaments than Fleetwood, as things stand, the Englishman is a far better player than the American at this stage of his career.
Interestingly, Gary Player recently said Spieth is the best golfer in the world but suggested that he has been coached incorrectly.
That was a hugely bold claim, with Scottie Scheffler having dominated professional golf over the past few years.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Spieth is not only nowhere near Scheffler’s level, but he’s not close to matching Fleetwood either.
Jordan Spieth said Tommy Fleetwood did something ‘absurd’ back in 2018
Fleetwood wasn’t in contention at all to win the US Open at Shinnecock Hills after three rounds seven years ago.
However, that all changed after his sensational play during the final round up in New York State.
The Englishman shot a scintillating 63, one that consisted of just one bogey and eight birdies, including four in a row on the back nine.
Fleetwood also missed a six-foot putt for birdie on his final hole of the day – one that meant he missed out on a playoff with Brooks Koepka by just a single stroke.
Spieth spoke to reporters not long after the final round of the US Open and absolutely raved about Fleetwood as both a person and a golfer, as quoted by ESPN:
“He certainly has the ability and the game to do it. I could certainly see him as one of the favourites [at the Open].
“He’s someone who will have a lot of momentum. With the home crowd, guys who will want to see a Brit win the Open Championship. It’s been such a special moment in the past, he’s one of the top guys to beat.
“He’s absolutely one of the nicest people out here, everyone respects him just as everyone respects his game.“

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
