Tommy Fleetwood and his competitors at the Tour Championship are all wearing yellow ribbons during the final round. The Southport-born<\/a> star is in the running for his first PGA title at the tournament in Atlanta, Georgia and shared the lead going into the crucial round.<\/p>\n

About the ribbon being worn, the PGA Tour website<\/a> said: “Players and caddies wore neon yellow ribbons during the final round of the TOUR Championship in honour of Ted Scott\u2019s nephew, Joel, who is recovering from an injury.<\/p>\n

“Scott, Scottie Scheffler’s longtime caddie, left the FedEx St. Jude Championship unexpectedly to attend to a private family matter and was not on the bag for Scheffler during his BMW Championship victory.<\/p>\n

“Scott returned for the TOUR Championship this week. The Scott family has requested prayers for Joel at this time.<\/p>\n

“The ribbons were visible on the hats of much of the field on Sunday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

“Scott and Scheffler began the final round at 12-under, four strokes back of 54-hole leaders Tommy Fleetwood<\/a> and Patrick Cantlay. With a victory at the TOUR Championship, Scheffler would become the first player to win the FedExCup back-to-back, after capturing golf’s ultimate prize in 2024.”<\/p>\n

Tommy had to settle for a share of the lead going into the final round of the Tour Championship.<\/p>\n

He held a three-shot lead thanks to a run of four straight birdies, including a successful 44-foot putt after a wayward tee shot on the seventh.<\/p>\n

But the 34-year-old Englishman sent his six-iron off the tee into the water at the 15th, and a double-bogey five saw him dip from the outright lead to one shot behind Patrick Cantlay.<\/p>\n

However, he showed great resilience to claw a shot back at the next, despite driving straight into a bunker, and another birdie at the 17th repaired the damage on his way to a battling round of 67.<\/p>\n

But American Cantlay birdied the last to card a 64 and secure a tie at the top on 16 under.<\/p>\n

US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, who is weighing up whether to pick himself as a player at Bethpage next month, may have made that decision easier after a sparkling 63 kept him in contention.<\/p>\n

Bradley is three off the lead, one behind fellow American Russell Henley, while world number one Scottie Scheffler is four back at 12 under.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Tommy is -19 after 14 holes, three strokes ahead of Cantlay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tommy is in the running for the titleDan Haygarth Liverpool Daily Post Editor and Regeneration Reporter 22:23, 24…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":91926,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,2762,101,9643,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-91925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-southport","tag-sports","tag-tommy-fleetwood","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91925\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
