#2 Tommy Fleetwood
Official Golf World Ranking: No. 10 Best Major Finish: 2nd (2018 US Open)
Tommy Fleetwood has been a professional for a long time but, it was only in 2017 where he stood up and showed what a great golfer he really is.
The Englishman has now emerged at the top tier of world golf, but it has not been an easy ride to success.
The 2010 winner of the English amateur had a slow start to his career as a professional and struggled to find his feet in his first two years.
In his first year on the European Tour, Fleetwood only just managed to keep his playing rights, getting a top 10 finish in his final event of the season to scrape through into his next year.
After a win in 2013, his career went quiet once again, as he struggled to win tournaments and make a step up to the next level.
2017 saw an upturn in form for Fleetwood. Two big wins at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship and the Rolex Series Open de France meant that in 2017 he went from a run of the mill European Tour player to a top 20 player in the world.
With his confidence high he kept performing well and entered the 2018 season as a real contender for any event, including the majors.
A final round 63 in the 2018 US Open gave the Englishman a real chance to get his hands on his first major but, he was just beat by now double champion, Brooks Koepka. It will not be long before Fleetwood links four rounds together to win a major.
Fleetwood is a true underdog, a player who was once upon a time, struggling to remain on the European Tour but now could be winning one of golf's most coveted events. It would be an incredible story and there are few that will argue against it happening.
