The shot ultimately ended up in a bogey, and Fleetwood lost the title to Bradley. Kim, while talking about the incident, wrote on X:

"Gutted for Tommy. I heard he looked undecided on 18 on the 2nd shot. The wind was super tricky there. It was swirling around the trees a ton and it was switching constantly in a different direction than the normal wind."

He also praised Fleetwood and wrote:

"I had a lot of trouble committing to a shot and number there as well. It also looked like his putt hit a bump for par. He’s such a nice dude and I’m sure he’ll get his win somewhere big soon..."
