LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 18: Tommy Fleetwood of England reacts to his putt on the tenth green during the final round of the 123rd U.S. Open Championship at The Los Angeles Country Club on June 18, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. LOS ANGELES — Tommy Fleetwood’s run at Los Angeles Country Club came just a day late, but it was incredibly impressive nonetheless.
Fleetwood made two eagles in his final round at the U.S. Open on Sunday afternoon, which made him the first person to have a pair in a single round at the tournament since 1990. His second eagle of the day launched him up into the top five on the leaderboard, too, though the final pairing of Rickie Fowler and Wyndham Clark had yet to tee off.
Fleetwood, after an even par 70 in his third round, entered Sunday at 2-over. That put him a full 12 strokes behind Fowler and Clark and all but out of contention at the third major championship of the season. But the 32-year-old Englishman played a near-perfect round of golf. He birdied the second hole, and then expertly drove the blind green at the par-4 sixth. His tee shot landed safely about 6 feet from the cup on the narrow green situated above the thick barranca and below a dangerous hill and bunker, and set him up with an easy eagle putt.
