No, Tommy Fleetwood didn’t win the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock.
But he walked away with one of the best memories of his career.
And he very well might enter this week’s U.S. Open at Shinnecock, eight years removed from the last one here, with more confidence than the rest of the 156-man field.
His final-round 63, which was nearly good enough to chase down eventual winner Brooks Koepka, will do that for the confidence.
