The image seared into memory isn't Tommy Fleetwood's missed par putt at the 17th — it's what came after. For the 34-year-old Englishman, the FedEx St. Jude Championship represented yet another chapter in what has become one of professional golf's most compelling and heartbreaking narratives.

Tommy Fleetwood knows what questions are coming. He answers them with grace. He even manages to crack a smile. The 34-year-old Englishman has been here before — he has a deep memory log of the rituals that come with a near-miss.

Winning on the PGA Tour is hard. Look no further than Fleetwood, who has six runner-ups without a victory — including some painfully close calls this season.
