But he ended up missing out by a shot after bogeying the 18th to hand victory to Keegan Bradley.

Fleetwood had a six-foot putt to win but his shot appeared to hit a ball mark and drifted inches wide.

He then agonisingly watched on as Bradley sank his putt from a similar distance to birdie, achieving a two-shot swing on the final hole to win the championship.

One fan reacted saying: “That’s just unbelievably bad luck.”

Another added: “1.9M ball mark. Ouch.”

And a third wrote: “Really sad to see for the guy.”

The result means Fleetwood’s wait for a PGA Tour win continues.

He also missed out on the £2.7million winning prize pot.

Fleetwood shared his disappointment after the final round, saying: “I’m gutted right now.

“I’ve not been in that situation for a long time. It’s probably the worst way to finish.


“Leading by two with three to play. Leading by one going into the last and you don’t even make it to a play-off. It’s the worst way it could go.”
