Then Fleetwood found himself leading entering the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He pulled two ahead with three birdies in a four-hole stretch on Sunday’s back nine, but his failure to birdie the par-5 16th or make a 7-foot par putt on the next hole left him a stroke out of the playoff won by countryman Justin Rose.

Fleetwood is co-leading at East Lake with a score of 13-under, tied with Russell Henley. Both are two strokes ahead of Cameron Young, currently solo third. It's been another historic week for the Englishman.
