Tommy Fleetwood would be the current world No.2 if the Official World Golf Ranking used a one-year points gathering period instead of two. So right now, yes, it’s good to be Tommy Fleetwood.
There hasn’t been a repeat winner in the US Open in nearly 30 years, since Curtis Strange in 1989, but it sure looked like the same guy won the championship for a second year in a row.
A first-time winner has come out on top in each of the past six Major championships. After 36 holes at Erin Hills, where the top 18 names on the leaderboard have won a combined zero Majors, it looks as though we are headed for a seventh.
