Tommy Fleetwood was a big player over the first two-plus days at the PGA Championship. The Englishman fizzled on the weekend in pursuit of his first major, resulting in T-29th.

After a T-35th prior at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, it’s still a small step in the right direction.

Most of his playing competitors have been playing since the first PGA Tour event of the restart on June 11. He was quarantining in England prior to the WGC.

He should be fresher than the rest and ready to hit his stride with the FedEx Cup Playoffs and two more majors looming.

Fleetwood is making his Wyndham Championship debut.

The 29-year-old ranks 27th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained off the tee (.39 per round) and is in the positive in all strokes gained categories. Fleetwood was ninth in the field last week in SG off the tee (.936), so he should be set up for his second shots better than most this week.

His work on and around the greens ranked in the top 25 last week, but his irons were off. Get that going, and he’ll be back on track.

Fleetwood was elite in the months prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. He won on the European Tour in November at the Nedbank Golf Challenge and finished in second place two more times to claim the Euro Tour’s Race to Dubai championship.

He piled up three more worldwide top-20s, including solo third at the Honda Classic.

Fleetwood is still searching for his first PGA Tour victory. This week is as good of a chance as he’ll get for some time.
