Tommy Fleetwood Is Working on a Year of Possibilities

Tommy Fleetwood Is Working on a Year of Possibilities

In last October’s Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Tommy Fleetwood of England lost to Aaron Rai of England on the first playoff hole, missing a putt for par.

Fleetwood, ranked No. 33 in the world, will try again this week, at the Renaissance course, for the third year in a row.

He will compete next week in the British Open at Royal St. George’s Golf Club in Kent, England, and then, with Paul Casey, Fleetwood will represent England at the Olympic Games in Japan. In September, he’s expected to play in his second Ryder Cup. In 2018, he went 4-1 in Team Europe’s victory over the United States.

Fleetwood, 30, spoke recently about his game and the opportunities ahead. The conversation has been condensed and edited.

Can you talk about the course and tournament?

I think it should be good for the guys coming over before the [British] Open. It’s as close as you’re going to get to links golf, competition-wise,anywhere in the world at that time, and it’s going to be a really good field of players.

How do you feel this year has gone for you?

It’s not gone anywhere near how I would have liked it to. I’ve competed at the top of the leader boards very rarely. All the pieces in the jigsaw have been there at different times, but just not all come together. I feel closer now than I have for a few months.

How do you feel about going to the Olympics?

To be part of the biggest sporting event in the world, with so many of the best athletes, is very special and will be a privilege. I’ve grown up in golf, and we have four majors that define players’ careers, but you get them four times a year, every year. You watch the Olympics and these guys train for four years for this one opportunity, and it’s over in nine seconds. I’ve always been inspired by those guys who train for those moments.

You must be excited about another Ryder Cup appearance.

Yes. You become such a family. You became so engrossed in it. I’m excited to do it again. That moment that we won the Ryder Cup is just about as good of a moment as I’ve had in the sport.
