"I'm upset now, I'm angry" – Tommy Fleetwood breaks silence after dramatic Travelers Championship 2025 collapse

Tommy Fleetwood bore the solo lead at the 2025 Travelers Championship through 71 holes of play. However, an unfortunate shot on the last hole cost the Englishman dearly.

The 34-year-old had an 8 foot and 2 inch putt for par on TPC River Highlands' par-4 18th hole. Fleetwood's golf ball appreared to hit a pitch mark on the green and veer away from its line, leading to a missed putt.

This putt resulted in him losing his lead at the 2025 Travelers Championship. Had he made the putt, it would have forced a playoff involving him and Keegan Bradley, who made a birdie on the last hole to win the tournament.

During the post tournament press conference, Tommy Fleetwood felt "upset" and "angry" with the result.

He said, (via ASAP Sports):

"'Im upset now, I'm angry - when it calms down, look at the things that I did well, look at the things that I can learn from..it hurts. The most stupid thing to do and the worse thing to do would be make a week like this a hindrance to what you do going forwards. I obviously played great, I put myself in a great position, I was leading the tournament for 71 holes...Right now I would love to, you know, just go and sulk somewhere and maybe I will do, but there's just no point making it a negative for the future really, just take the positives and move on."

Despite feeling gutted over the loss, Tommy Fleetwood stated that he will take some time to process the event and then put it behind him. He intends to take the positives from the tournament and learn from them to perform better in the future.

Having played 159 events on the PGA Tour, the World No. 17 golfer still seeks to earn his maiden victory after 42 finishes inside the top-10 and 28 finishes inside the top-5.

This week's tied for second place finish with Russell Henley at the 2025 Travelers Championship was Fleetwood's fifth finish inside the top-ten on the PGA Tour this year.
