Fleetwood ties Henley for PGA Tour Championship lead
Tommy Fleetwood defends the traditional stroke-play format reinstated by the PGA Tour at the Tour Championship, aiming to secure his first PGA Tour victory among 30 top players.
- On Thursday, Tommy Fleetwood defended the removed staggered start at the Tour Championship, saying he didn't mind it and felt it could be fair; this year, the event uses a stroke-play format at East Lake.
- The PGA Tour decided to revert after using the starting-strokes format , restoring stroke-play this year for the 30-player field based on FedEx Cup standings after the BMW Championship.
- Fleetwood fired a 7-under second-round 63 at East Lake Country Club to share the lead at 13-under, saying, `I think if you start losing it a little bit off the tee and you're in the rough, it obviously becomes a lot more difficult to score`.
- Fleetwood's position bolsters his bid for a maiden PGA Tour win, with the winner claiming the FedEx Cup and a $10m winner's cheque this Sunday.
- Heading into the weekend at East Lake Country Club, soft, rain-affected conditions have produced very low scoring and a bunched leaderboard, increasing unpredictability for the final rounds on Sunday, August 24.
