Tommy Fleetwood revealed overnight that his breakthrough win on the PGA Tour last month came as his stepson was dealing with a health emergency.<\/p>\n
RELATED: The critical moment that led Tommy Fleetwood to his first PGA Tour victory<\/a><\/p>\n The Englishman, whose string of heartbreaks was a narrative the sport desperately wanted to see erased, rewrote his story at the Tour Championship in Atlanta to grab the tour\u2019s FedEx Cup title<\/a> and its $US10 million prize. Fleetwood\u2019s popularity with the crowd and his colleagues was on full display, as many of fellow players waited around the 18th hole and clubhouse to congratulate him on his triumph. However, missing from that scrum was Fleetwood\u2019s wife, Clare, along with his son and one of his stepsons. Speaking at the DP World Tour\u2019s BMW Championship, the world No.6 revealed that his family had more important matters to attend to.<\/p>\n \u201cOur middle boy, Mo, had a spinal operation just over a month ago now,\u201d Fleetwood explained. \u201cSo they were unable to travel. Actually the week of Memphis, they were in the hospital and he was recovering and they actually just got home before we got home. He had three-and-a-half weeks, I think, in the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n Fleetwood later explained to the media at the DP World Tour\u2019s flagship event that Mo is doing well and will be on-site this week at Wentworth.<\/p>\n
