Tommy Fleetwood: WATCH: Tommy Fleetwood waits nearly 30 seconds as ball finally drops at the Charles Schwab Challenge

Tommy Fleetwood found himself in an absurd situation in the end moments of the final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge. His birdie putt stopped right at the rim of the hole, and the golfer had to wait for nearly 30 seconds for it to drop in.

Playing on the par-4 18th hole on Sunday (May 25), Fleetwood attempted a birdie putt from 20 yards away. The Briton anxiously waited for the ball to move along with his fellow competitor. When it finally sank in, the crowd erupted in a loud cheer. Fleetwood broke into a large grin himself.
