Although he has yet to triumph on American soil, he has come close multiple times, most recently at the FedEx St. Jude Championship this past weekend in Memphis.
After being in a tie for third on Sunday, Fleetwood commented, "It's better than being the other way." "It's preferable to being far away.
Yes, it is irritating, but I believe I need to see the bright side and be proud of the golf I play and the work we're doing.
Fleetwood has reason to be pleased with his performance. He earned $1.16 million as a result of his play at TPC Southwind, helping him exceed the milestone of $20 million in career earnings.
Fleetwood, according to Justin Ray of The Athletic, became the first golfer in PGA Tour history to earn more than $20 million in earnings without ever winning a tournament.
In Memphis, he achieved his sixth top-five finish of the 2022–23 season and his 22nd top-five finish overall.
The loss against Nick Taylor at the 2023 RBC Canadian Open was the closest the Englishman has been to winning. On the fourth playoff hole, Taylor's 72-foot putt sealed the victory.
However, Fleetwood did not advance to the FedEx St. Jude Championship playoffs. He finished one shot behind Patrick Cantlay and Lucas Glover at 14 under par.
